 After TURBT procedure on Monday 1st June my Consultant advised me that my Bladder Cancer was Grade 1 and that the tumour had been successfully scraped away. I further received intravesical chemotherapy. I have a CT scan appointment booked for the 29th June to check that the bladder is still tumour free, which, according to the Consultant, is expected to be. Following on from that I will be invited to the meeting to discuss my situation going forward. Originally, before the TURBT., the Consultant did say I would not get chemotherapy but would receive radiotherapy and immunotherapy treatment. 
 I would be interested to hear from anyone who has already taken, from the same starting point as myself, this exact journey but has travelled further than the stage I have just reached. 
 ps. I feel really well after my TURBT. I had an easy time during my short stay, Monday morning through to early evening Wednesday, in hospital. I had no problems. 

  • Hi Kenzie,

    Welcome to this friendly forum.

    I was diagnosed with grade 3 BC, but was not muscle invasive. That was 3 1/2 years ago now.

    I've probably gone a different route to what you'll go through, but just wanted to wish you all the best.

    It's good to hear that the TURBT went well and you're feeling well.

  • Hope the scan goes well at the end of the month. Sounds encouraging to me as it’s grade 1. Good wishes to you 

  • Hi. Consultant told me, after the first TURBT procedure that wasn’t completed due to my bladder being perforated, I would not be getting my bladder removed but that I would be getting radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Although the procedure had to be stopped due to the perforation a slither of the tumour was removed to for a biopsy. However, it was after the perforation had healed and then a TURBT re-run, I was told it was grade 1 and that the cancer had been all scraped away. There was no conversation re the treatment that had been discussed previously. Just that I would need to have another CT scan in 4 weeks time to check the bladder was still tumour free. However, the Consultant doesn’t expect there to be any change. 
     All fingers crossed.
