I have yet to see the consultant who performed the procedure about four weeks ago. I now have an appointment with a uro nurse tomorrow. Why is this please?
In many hospitals, it is normal after a TURBT for the first appointment to be with a urology nurse.. They'll check how you are and how you are healing. They may also explain any results if they are available, and talk through what the next steps may be.
Consultants are often seen later if a more detailed discussion or treatment planning is needed.
If you are feeling worried about this you can ask the nurse why you are seeing them first and when you'll get to speak with the consultant.
I hope this helps. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
