Bladder cancer

Hello 

I am new to the forum. I am waiting to go into hospital today for TURBT to remove a large bladder tumour. I am not anxious about the procedure, but find waiting for results and appointments difficult.  

  • Hi talkeetna.  I also am awaiting a TURBT operation, which is due early next month.  Like you I find the wait for results so difficult. 

    Given that NHS is rolling out a linked computer network, you may find that your GP has access to some results even before you hear from the hospital. For instance, just today I was able to get a copy of my CT scan result, even though I've heard nothing about it from the hospital! 

    Best of luck with the TURBT. Please keep us posted with how it all goes, as I'd really like to know!

  • Hi Telemando

    Good to hear from you and thank you for the advice about the GP.

    I will let you know how the TUBRT goes and wish you well with yours.

  • In response to anyone waiting for TURBT   the procedure  is truthfully  nothing to be frightened  off    relax forget embarrassment  and it's over in minutes  wish dentist was as simple
