Hi

New to this forum - had bladder cancer diagnosed in Aug ‘23 with a Turbt  in Sept - all went well and I’ve been have 3 monthly then 6 monthly cystoscopy- my flexi last week showed up a new small tumour so now waiting for repeat CT scans and have been offered an ablation to remove tumour - feeling a bit down in the dumps 

  • Hi  and welcome to this friendly and supportive group. Sorry to hear they have discovered a new growth, but unfortunately we know this is quite common although still disappointing. The positive to focus on is that things appear to have been caught early because of the laser ablation rather than a full blown TURBT. Not had this procedure myself but others have and should be along to help. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

  • Thank you for responding - just glad even though tiny it was visible on scan - they had said right before that if it was all clear I’d be moved to annual checks - so thankful to be getting it removed before it gets bigger

  • Hi Teaforme - sorry to hear you have a recurrence but it’s good news it’s tiny and can be ablated. Best wishes for the procedure and welcome to this amazing group!!Nikki x
