Hi, I’m new to the group, i had a TURBT a year ago to remove a tumor, I then went back for a check up yesterday and unfortunately they have found several more lesions. So I have to have another TURBT, which the thought of the catheter is filling me with dread as last time I had it in for 5 days and had painful spasms continuously. Has anyone else experienced this and any advise? X

  • Hi Tashace, it’s good that the problem is going to be dealt with quickly. I recently had a second TURBT, and it was nowhere as bad as the 1st, but every case is of course different. I hope it all goes well for you. Leo

  • Hi Tashace

    I had a TURBT Feb last year and woke up with a catheter and had to stay in overnight

    My last camera check showed new tumours, I had a TURBT last week

    I had Cistomycin into the bladder during the operation but no catheter

    Went home a few hours later

    Hope everything goes well

    Much love Tina X

  • Thank you that is reassuring. Hope it continues to go well for you too. 

  • Hi, that is reassuring and it was the same sort of time as when I had it. I know it’s all for the greater good, so whatever is needed… 

    Hope everything continues to go well for you.
