Hello everyone, my husband is 3 months post turbt and 6 weeks of mitomycin. He had his first check by cystoscopy yesterday and it showed three very small red patches. The surgeon said they could be the beginning of cancer cells coming back but could also be inflammation from the treatment. He is arranging for him to go in within the next two weeks and have another turbt. He was reassuring to my husband saying he often sees inflammation in this form as a result of the treatment.
I have seen quite a few posts on here where members have referred to red patches after treatment but they all seemed to be as a result of BCG treatment.
I'm wondering if anyone has had inflamed/red patches after having mitomycin. Many thanks.
