Hi,

So my wife went for a cystoscopy 6 weeks ago where they found a 2cm tumour, she had a CT scan and was then scheduled for a TURBT which she had on the 28th July, she had complications in the operation and nearly cut through the bladder wall and was sent home with a catheter for 10 days. The results came back as a Grade 2 pTa NMIBC. I wanted to reach out on here to anybody currently going through this whether you have just been diagnosed, waiting for results, post op etc to try and answer any questions you may have about the process and maybe give some peace of mind where possible. I spent days and days searching forums and googling things for peace of mind and looking for people in the same situation and know first hand the relief you get when you read the right word and the dread when you read the wrong word. Im no professional or expert but happy to answer anything I can about the experience, good luck
