Hi,

I had my TURBT exactly 2 weeks ago and I’ve been contacted by Urology to accept a telephone consultation on Weds or opt for face to face. I’m wondering if I should be alarmed by the quickness of the appointment?
My discharge letter said Multiple Superficial TCCs measuring 2.5 cm. My procedure took 15 mins apparently according to the nurse looking after me. I’m really not sure if I should be encouraged by a telephone consultation or worried ? I’m swinging between the 2.
Anyone else encountered this?

I think the speed is luck as much as anything. We all try to guess why the hospital acts as it does. After my TURBT I was told they'd write, but I got a face to face. I expect the offer of a telephone consult is the hosp trying to avoid people having to travel. Which will you choose?

I’ve opted for telephone because I live about 12 miles from the hospital and don’t drive. More convenient.

Hi POFT,

My TURBT results came back pretty much after two weeks. I had to have a second TURBT and again the results came back in two weeks.

Wishing you all the best for your consultation.

Trevor
