TURBT operation cancelled

Hi AllotmentP, sorry to hear your TURBT has been cancelled, so frustrating when you are all geared up for it. I am expecting mine (March 27th) will be cancelled too. As I am 18 doses through the BCG protocol, which is immunotherapy, I am keeping away from gatherings and limiting social interaction. I guess we all have to do what seems right for our individual circumstances. 

Hello AllotmentP

How disappointing! Following my Turbt to remove a superficial tumour last year I was told I required a flexible cystoscopy in January. It is now March 16th and I am still waiting. My first procedure was cancelled because a consultant was not available. I was given a second date but that was cancelled because of problems with the equipment to undertake the procedure. A week later I was told it could be May before a date was available. I was also informed I would be placed on the waiting list with a private hospital in Preston where I stood a better chance of an appointment albeit this was under the auspices of the NHS. I called the NHS waiting list office today and told again the equipment for my procedure was still defective. Unbelievable!!!  I have still not been oven a date by the private hospital. Perhaps this may be an option for you.

Good luck Garviv

Sorry to here that your TURBT is cancelled.

I had my pre op yesterday and was surprised that no one was wearing masks. Was told that there is a possibility that my TURBT could be cancelled too. Just feel helpless like everyone I suppose.

Hello Everyone 

Following my post yesterday I have been contacted by the private hospital in Preston that my flexible cystoscopy has been scheduled  for 23rd March under the NHS. May be an option to explore for other members o the BC gang waiting for procedure appointments.

Stay well everyone

Hi,I’m glad you have finally got another date for your cystoscopy.I hope it all goes well.Love Jane x

Hi Pursey hope your op is not cancelled. NHS just announced all elective non urgent operations cancelled for 3 months but separately said cancer operations not postponed I will be chasing a new date up as my referral was classified as urgent. Keep well everyone best wishes

That’s great news hope op goes well. Best wishes

Thank You 

keep well
