Hello. My husband had a cystoscopy on Friday 26th July and we were told he had bladder cancer. A Turbt was carried out on Tuesday 30th July, where he was told 'we think we got it all' He has not had any further communication from the hospital since (which I believe is normally for results to take 4 weeks)
Since the 28th July he has being taking antibiotics for Strep Pneumonia, which was found in a urine sample after a visit to out of hours doctor, (he was in a lot of pain and struggling to urinate.)
This evening his flow of urine stopped mid flow, he said it felt like he was still urinating but it wasn't coming out and he then passed a " foreign object" What could this be? Could it be a scab from an internal wound? Tumour?
He is going to telephone his Gp in the morning but I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience? It wasn't a blood clot he has passed quite a few of those already and this looked completely different.
Sorry if this was to much info to be shared, but I am very concerned about him.
Hello Lab lovers wifey and welcome to this friendly and supportive group. The first thing to take on board is that Bladder Cancer can be treated successfully. A few weeks following a TURBT the scab from the wound starts breaking away and is passed. There may be some blood and clots. This is normal, however, if the blood is excessive and he cannot pee, then he would need intervention. If he cannot pee at all, there may be a blockage and a call to 111 or a visit to A+E would be needed. In the meantime, it is important to drink copious amounts of water to flush the debris out. If all is well and he has not heard about results, then a call to urology to chase them up may be needed, but appointments usually depend on how busy the consultants are. Lots of experience here so feel free to ask anything. Best wishes.
I did to begin with, let's hope for being told which presently
