I haven't quite got my head around the idea that I have bladder cancer!

Hi bilkofan

Going to the toilet will get easier over the coming days. The blood in my pee disappeared after a few days although I was still going quite often.

There is a lot of scraping on stuff that goes on during a turbt. The biopsy from the turbt will be sent away for analysis and then a pathway will be arranged for you. Hope you Don't have long to wait. 

Best wishes

Thanks, Mark! 

Hi Bilkfan,

Welcome to this friendly forum.

After my first TURBT I found it took a couple of weeks to settle down. Although I was peeing the occasional blood and clots etc for a little longer. Always a bit shocking to see debris in the loo after a wee.

I think the pain is caused by the catheter used when doing the TURBT, it's quite large compared to normal catheters.

I had to have two TURBTS before my diagnosis and this is fairly common, but hopefully you won't need. If you do don't be alarmed.

Hoping that things improve for you soonest.

Keep us posted.

Hi Bilkofan,Welcome to our friendly group.
Hopefully the irritation will lessen with time.You need to drink plenty of fluids after a TURBT.This will help to flush out any debris in the bladder and calm the irritation.Most people on here find lemon barley water helpful.I hope you find the group helpful and supportive.Best wishes Jane
