I have bladder cancer and am having TB treatment directly into my bladder  5 so far apparently I’ll be having 12 in total with TURBT in between Any one else had this ?

  • Hi Ankers and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear you have bladder cancer but I hope your treatment is going well so far.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had TB treatment directly in their bladder and/or TURBT will be along soon to share their experiences and advice, but if you have any other questions about this or would just like to talk things through with someone then do give our team of cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're thinking of you Ankers and wishing you all the best on this journey.

    Kind regards,

  • I also am having the same treatment but have 27 to go through. The blood clots are a problem for the first two days after administration, but it's more the lethargy for the rest of the week. It was varry hard to take the news when I first found out but once the polyps were cut out and the treatment started some year and half ago I felt more positive. I've had several camera investigations since and please to say that so far I've had no further growths.
