Supposed to get first check on the 29th after 6 sessions of BCG Got a cancellation for kidney stone removal today and also done the bladder check while in the bladder. Spoke to Dr afterwards said they’d took some biopsies on the red area where I had my turbt he didn’t seem too concerned is this normal anybody else experienced this ? Thanks in advance
Hi Jghftm1. Good to know you had your kidney stone removed. Hope you will feel better afterwards. The dreaded red patches are common after treatment. Many of us have had these which in many cases turn out to be false alarms. Your bladder check has been done early so hopefully it is still a bit of inflammation after BCG. Best wishes.
Mr w had a stone stuck in his urethra in addition to another 3 and had a stent which he was glad to be rid of Seems problem is the difficulty between recognising inflammation and cis both present the same according to our consultant
Best wishes
I had the red patches. Check was done 4 weeks after no 6 which I thought was a bit early. Due to Covid & Xmas getting in the way it took 3 months before they did a rigid and took biopsies.
Red patch was chronic inflammation, so had No. 7 yesterday and now back on track
