Hi, my dad has bladder cancer he has had 2 TURBT ops and was fitted with a catheter after the first op. Yesterday he went to the hospital to have the catheter removed but after 3 attempts his bladder wasn’t fully emptying so had to have another catheter inserted much to his utter disappointment. Next week he is repeating the removal at the hospital and is desperately hoping that it will be a success. I would be great full for any advice or lived experience.
