I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer and that you're now waiting for your first surgery. It's understandable that you may have questions and be feeling a little anxious about things.
It's really difficult to say how long the operation may take as it will depend on many factors. If you've been given contact details for a specialist cancer nurse, then don't be afraid to give them a call to talk through your questions.
Hopefully you will have some positive news soon from the specialists and your recovery will go smoothly.
