Well still trying to be positive

just wanted to ask was reading my paper work that I was given after my turbt last Thursday I noticed it said they took a 5mm papillary lesion on the previous turbt site complete resection on the recurrence does that mean there was another grouth in the six weeks since first turbt sorry just can not get it out of my head xx

Hi Mandymay, please try not to panic - my OH had exactly, exactly, the same thing happen. He was G3, which is high risk of recurrence, Pta and wasn't even expecting a second TURBT when he went in. He went in for a flexi under GA as strictures mean they had to be forceful to get the camera in, and woke up to find it had morphed into a TURBT but like you, they had seen and completely removed the new papilloma growth. Superficial is good, it is the furthest away from muscle invasive.

He had had 6 BCG, and after this given choices, picked Mitomycin, hasn't had any more recurrences in around six years.

Stay with the forum, we are here for you.

Following first TURBT they reported 3x 10mm tumours G3T1

After second they reported a single G3TA

Been on BCG since (12 completed) and no further recurrence in the last year
