Bladder Cancer

Hi all, I am 68 and had two tumours removed from my bladder on the 30th April and I am now just waiting for the results, does anyone know how long it takes to get the results. Trying to be positive and not let it get me down, so would appreciate any insight, thanks.

  • Hello Jock77

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had two tumours removed from your bladder. I hope that you've recovered well from the procedure and not experienced too much discomfort. 

    It's difficult to say how long it may take for you to hear about the results. As it's now been nearly 3 weeks, why not give the consultant's secretary or your specialist nurse, if you have been given contact details for one, a call? Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance and let you know when you might have an update from the team. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Do keep in touch Jock77 and let us know how you get on. 

    Sending my best wishes,

    Thanks for the reply and the advice Jenn, I was thinking if I not heard anything by next week to ring and hopefully find something out. I just hate to bothering people, I am sure they have enough to do and will get to me once they have results.

    many thanks
