Surgery booked

Hi Rob R . The TURBT should take priority over the scan. It shouldn't matter the scan not done yet as things are done independently and pulled together at a later date. I hope it goes smoothly. Best wishes.

That’s Good news that it’s booked I wouldn’t give it to much thought on the CT for now TURBT is straight forward enough and best wishes to you during and after it Nigel

Hi Nigel, that is good news you are getting it sorted. It is all a bit nerve racking I know , but for me the sooner the better. Lots on here who have had their 1st surgery recently , so know how you are feeling and will be here for you to steady you through . On my first op, while i was waiting to go to theatre i was posting my fears on here , and got several virtual handholds that helped me through. You can do this , and we are all wishing you the best 

much love Angela x

That's great news that you've got your TURBT date.

Sure all will go well and that you'll be up and about in no time.

Keep us posted.

Thank you everyone, I’m still very nervous. To be expected. How long does the TURBT take? 
thank you all again..

I went down at 2:15 pm and woke in recovery around 3:30 pm not long at all 

It should be easy it was for me, I have had two

Hi Rob R . The actual procedure can take less than an hour, sometimes a bit longer depending on what they find. You will wake up in recovery will they will keep an eye on you for a couple of hours or less before moving you on to a general ward. Prior to the op the anaesthetist will come and talk to you. The surgeon will also talk to you and give you a chance to ask any questions. they should then offer you a welcome cup of tea and a slice of toast. You will wake up with a catheter but in most cases it will be removed before you go home. Best wishes.

Thank you Rily, you guys on here are brilliant..

Nigel they will probably write you up for painkillers if you need them after the OP. I had morphine. I am sure you will be in safe hands.
