Hi everybody newly diagnosed

Hi Eric,

Welcome to this friendly forum, but sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

The procedure to remove the tumour etc is called a TURBT and is normally performed under general anesthetic.

The operation isn't too bad and some people go home on the same day, but I stayed overnight for both of my TURBTs.

When you get get your diagnosis back, you will be given a treatment plan, which can vary for each person.

Lot's of experience on this forum, so please fire away with any questions.

I was diagnosed almost three years ago, with high grade cancer, but after my operations and treatment have had clear biopsies since.

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks for the reply.  I’m in that  limbo land where you are waiting for appointments to come through at the moment. But it’s good to know other people’s experiences. 

Yeah fully agree in the beginning everything is a blur and you really do feel like being in limbo..

The waiting is horrible for sure, but sounds like they are moving quickly for you.

Please keep us posted with how things are going. 

Lot's of lovely people on these forums and they certainly helped guide me through the process, especially in the beginning.

Hi Eric,

Apologies I just checked your profile and can see you're familiar with the Macmillan forums.

Hope the bladder cancer forum can help you.

Kindest Regards 

Trevor
