Hello,
Why did it take six weeks to recover from the tumor surgery? Hopefully, that will not happen again. I had a TURB and biopsy on Dec 20th, and I went back to work on Dec. 26th, just because I had 2 days off at Christmas... My tumor filled up most of my bladder, but was fortunately Ta, Grade0... I had the CT before the surgery. Now I just wait six months and have another cystoscopy, and pray it hasn't recurred. I am still in shock over all of it (I am 47 yr old female, non-smoker)...and am now a high-fiber, brocolli-eating, no-diet-soda, healthy food diabetic - tell me that isn't hard!! Hey, perhaps now that we have cancer, we'll live LONGER because we gave up other unhealthy things... at least it helps me to look at it that way.
I did have pain when I peed for a month after the surgery, but they said I was just slow to heal, since the biopsy went pretty deep. A warm wet atmosphere is not conducive to fast healing!
I hope your long recovery was a one-time thing, and from now on, you will only need a day or 2 off. Best of luck to you!
Lauren
