I'm new to all of this, just diagnosed the week of lock down so treatment has been all over the place. I've had scans and TURBT last week but have not seen the team since diagnosis so not sure of what type of cancer I have or how big. Surgery was very last minute at private hospital as NHS closed to treatment by me. I am very grateful that I have had this done but now very confused about what normally happens and what happens next. Any advice??
Hi and welcome to the group at these strangest of times. Good to know you have had a TURBT done. This will put things on hold for you for a while. Normally what happens is that you get a follow up consultation at about the 3 week mark. You would then be given a stage and grading of your cancer. That is if it is confirmed as cancer. These results then determine the next step. Things are on a bit of a delay at the moment. It may be an idea to give your consultant's secretary to find out what is happening. Once you get your results and a treatment plan, we would then be able to guide and support you through this. Any questions you have, please ask. There are many of us here with lots of varying experiences. Best wishes.
