Hi it will be five weeks tomorrow since I had my turbt I have my appointment on Friday with the consultant for my results every time I try to discuss the results and what could happen my wife keeps saying that if my results were bad I would have been seen sooner I just feel so overwhelmed . Is she right about the time scales or am I just really over thinking this I can’t think about anything else 

thanks nigel

  • Probably about right, histology is taking 3 to 4 weeks, plus when ready needs to be reviewed and then discussed with MDT. Leo

  • Thanks Leo  the mdt took place ten days after turbt  I am just worrying and my wife just doesn’t want to talk about it 

  • Hi Nigel,

    Best of luck on Friday, it's always a worrying time waiting to get your results back. 

    I'm not 100% sure about being seen earlier etc, but it's very easy to overthink during the wait.

    Keep us posted.

    Take care.

    thanks nigel

  • Hi Rob R

    it has been a rollercoaster ride so far but on the whole I have been positive most of the time once it had sunk in but the last couple of days I have been getting more anxious and tired 

    thanks Nigel

  • Hi Nigel,The waiting is horrible and I think we all felt as you do at this stage.Best wishes for Friday.Love Jane 

  • Hi Jane thanks I had a fairly disturbed night I have the urge to get lots of little jobs around the house finished I think I am driving my wife mad because I am a bit short tempered and tired  just going to keep busy in garden and with the dogs 

    best wishes Nigel 

  • Hi Nigel,Keeping busy in the day does help but the nights are not easy.Before my surgery I spent all the time cleaning and doing chores I wouldn’t be able to do after the op and it did take my mind off it.I’m gardening at the moment,have a good day.Love Jane
