I have had a cystoscopy, a CT scan and pre op assessment all within a month. My op is next Monday and am so impressed with the organisation of everything. Most appointments done on phone as admin can't keep up. Letters still in print queue I think.
My consultant said I would be in overnight and come home with a catheter, to be taken out after 2 days by home care nurse, but pre assessment seem to think Im out same day, so really a bit confused.
Is there any norm for these ops or is everyone different
Hi foxbrush . The overnight usually depends on what time you go down and how things go. If you go down early morning, you can be out the same day. If it is late afternoon, they like to keep you in. The appointment time you have been given can be deceptive, as you are not always seen when you go in. I once had a 9am appointment, but did not go in until late afternoon. At the hospital I went to, they gave several people the same time, so just luck of the draw what order you go in. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
Hi foxbrush. God to hear things went smoothly. Take things easy for a few days. They don't always give a chemo wash, and sometimes they do it while you are still under you and don't know about it. It should say on your discharge notes. Bit of a wait now for results, but hopefully it will be good news. Best wishes.
