I am heading through for my 1st Turbt  this afternoon. Feeling OK, a little anxious, but I  think that's  more  to do with the  weather here today in Scotland. Gale force winds and heavy rain. It takes about an hour to drive there, so think we'll  have to set off early. I'll be staying in overnight, so will update how I get on when it's all over. Much love to you all xx

  • Good luck Jane , Hope all goes well today. I have had a couple of Turbt’s during last five years. Nothing to worry about. Sunshine today here in Englandshire. Garviv 

  • Hi Jane. I hope all goes smoothly today. Just look forward to the tea and toast when you come round. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Sending best wishes Jane. I've had 6 TURBTs and none have been painful or problematic. The first one is of course a bit scary and I also stayed in overnight after that. The Urology ward at my local hospital is marvellous and although I woke up with a catheter which is nobody's idea of fun, it was removed pretty quickly the next day. Hope your journey to hospital goes smoothly and look forward to hearing that the procedure has also been straight forward. Rily is absolutely right about the tea and toast after the op.....a real joy! Sending love. Hx

  • Thanks guys. I am certainly looking forward to my tea and toast Yum  ha ha xx

  • Just an update. My 1st turbt surgery went well. Bit sore yesterday, but feeling much better today. You guys were right, it was not problematic and the general anaesthetic wasn't  scary at all. I really did enjoy my tea and toast afterwards. I had a one off mitomycin treatment through my catheter and into the bladder after surgery. It felt like I was peeing cut glass yesterday, but I just kept drinking water and Ifeel fine today. Almost back to normal. My daughter is here bossing me about lol  

  • Hi Jane,Glad it went well.Keep up the fluids and try to avoid lifting anything heavy or doing too much bending or stretching while the bladder heals.Love Jane xx

  • Excellent news Jane. Take it easy for a few days and keep drinking lots of water to flush the system. Garviv 

  • Great to hear it went smoothly Jane, and welcome to the dedicated drinkers club. We've all learned to flush out our bladders as a habit. One of our group members recommended lemon barley as a bladder soother and that's my regular tipple these days. I'm guessing you'll have an appointment to be given results of  the biopsy in about two or three weeks? Keep us posted. xx

  • I will try the lemon barley. Good tip  Thank you Blush  It can get a bit boring drinking water all day, but I must say. It really does help a lot. 

    Thanks guys. Lots of love to you all. Stay well xx
