Hi,
I am new to here. I was recently diagnosed with. TA G1 2cm tumour which was removed by TURBT and I. Situ mytocytin, on 17/11. Only symptom was few episodes of blood in urine.
i just have a few things on my mind, be great if anyone can help.
Would appears this was a good outcome as was caught early, next cystoscope is due in February.,
The only thing I find myself wondering is whether it’s going to come back, does anyone know the likelihood of a recurrence?
also find that I can go to the loo first thing in the morning, but within 5 mins I need to go again, will that die down in time?
Am non smoker, active, eat healthy and no family history, so diagnosis was a bit of a shock tbh.
thank you
Hi Jsymiss and a warm welcome to this friendly and supportive group. Sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with BC but good to know it was caught early and you have had a TURBT. The positive is that if you are having no treatment other than surveillance this is a good thing. Unfortunately BC has a high rate of recurrence and some people are more prone to it than others. This is why we are monitored regularly and any recurrences can be dealt with early. Frequent urination is common after a TURBT as it takes up to six weeks for the wound to heal. Even with frequent urination it is still recommended to drink plenty of water to clear any debris and keep things fresh. Lots of experiences here so feel free to ask anything. Best wishes.
