Hi everyone. What lovely supportive and helpful people you all are. My husband was recently diagnosed with G3 superficial bladder cancer following a TURBT when 3 tumours were removed. It was several weeks before he was informed and a second TURBT was arranged to see whether the cancer is muscle invasive. Altogether 3 months from the first to the second TURBT which took place yesterday. We now have a further wait of two to three weeks for the histology report. While he is very patient and not curious, I really feel the need to know what to expect and what might happen,
From what I've read on this forum, there is so much invaluable personal experience, and you all seem so willing to help and support. I hope it will be OK for me to contribute and seek support from you all as things progress. BCG treatment has been mentioned, but the results of the current TURBT seem to be a critical factor. Hubby is still in hospital since yesterday and has been told very little except that lots of "scraping" around the resected tumour sites was done - as well as a bisopsy of his prostate. I'm feeling very anxious, but don't want to pass my anxiety on to him as he's quite calm and relaxed about it all, and says he will worry if he knows there's something to worry about! He's in his late 70s and has never been ill before.
Hoping to go and pick him up soon, but waiting for say so from the medical team.
Thank you for listening. Nettm
