8 weeks after turbt

TA grade 2 (low)

I’m still in pain  I’m now on a weeks course of antibiotics but very concerned that I still have such burning and tummy pain. My consultant is very chilled about it and says it’s to be expected because my urethra needed to be dilated but I don’t hear of anyone else having this problem ??

  • I'm really sorry to hear about the issues you've been having since you finished your TURBT 8 weeks ago Rhodes.

    This must be very frustrating, especially when then pain seems never ending, but do trust in your consultant if you can.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will share their experiences and advice with you soon, but if you would like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m (except bank holidays). They are very friendly and will do all they can to address your concerns and answer any other questions you may have at this time.

    The charity Fight Bladder Cancer which is ran by bladder cancer survivors and their families, may be able to help as well.

    We're thinking of you Rhodes and will have our fingers crossed that things start getting better for you soon.

    Kind regards,
