  • Hello Karenk1

    I'm sorry to hear that you were recently diagnosed with bladder cancer and that you're feeling so anxious ahead of your TURBT. We know that for many people, this period just before starting a regime of treatment can be worrying, and it's understandable that you might have questions and concerns. 

    Hopefully when you next see the specialists, they will be able to give you some reassurance about the procedure and the next steps in your care. In the meantime, if it would help to chat things through with one of our team of nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on Karenk1. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes,
