Hi, I've completed 6 cycles of chemo for my bladder cancer and last two scans have shown no visible cancer. I am now about to start radiotherapy in January (20 treatments) The consultant I spoke to last week "offered" extra chemo at the beginning and...
Hi I had rigid cystoscopy with biopsy under GA yesterday and to be honest I feel worst that I thought I would. Pain passing urine to be expected, but have lower abdo pain like cramping and feel wiped out, is this normal?
I had a 2 CM tumor removed with a margin, and some small papilliary growths. I have a catheter in, which is hooked up to be irrigated. Working well except for bladder spasms which are very painful. It's day 3 and blood is still coming from bladder...
1st TURBT done.Back from theatre. All good. The catheter is working fine, but bladder feels in "constant I feel like a pee mode". Is that normal, suppose it's just post op pain. Any pointers most welcome. Thanks Grrat to have the little critter cut out...

tURBT incomplete because of large side of tumour told depending on biopsy result might need further tURBT although it looks like mibc also a module found in lung scan so im worried would be grateful for any advice if anyone has similar experience
I recall being informed to avoid ibuprofen after the TURBT due to increased risk of bleeding. I didn’t take any ibuprofen for close to six months. I have had some mild lingering effects of the BCG since the last treatment almost three weeks ago, some...
So, I had a bladder diagnosis almost 2 years ago, I had a rc & was told the cancer had completely gone. on the 8th of this month I had a scan, they found a sack of fluid & my lymph nodes are enlarged too. They said it could be that the cancer has returned...
