Hi all- I was diagnosed in July with Rectal cancer, and a bladder tumour was picked up by MRI, and confirmed by Cystoscopy in early October. So I’ve had had an EFTR and another polyp removed 2 weeks ago, and am having a TURB in a few days time. I still haven’t had the pathology result for Rectal issue, and am feeling a bit stressed!

Hi Jean and welcome to the group. Sorry to hear you have had so much going on. Waiting for results is always an anxious time. We have seen many posts recently where path reports are late. It seems as though there is a shortage of radiologists, but that is not much help. A TURBT procedure is usually done in day surgery but prepare for an overnight just in case. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
