Drs didnt say anything was abnormal with the healin after turbt, but one nurse at the new dr made mention that the surgeon " took a pretty good scoop out". Dont know why a good scoop would have to come out since surgeon said tumor came out easy. If pain doesnt subside in a week ill be contacting uro. Has anyone had any experience with follow up surgery to help mend a wound that is not healing properly.
I am a 66 yo female with a somewhat similar situation. 2 yeas ago I had once a blood clot in urine. I had a urine test in a couple of days and no blood or cancer cells were found. So I forgot about it. I was in remission from my lymphoma at that time, but I was having regular ct scan checkups. And they picked up that my lymphoma is back (last year) and something in my bladder. I am at the end of my lymphoma treatment which is going well at this point. Recently I had a cystoscopy that showed a tumor similar size as yours. And the preliminary diagnosis from looking at it is like yours. So I am reading your story and I plan to ask my doctor to take a big scoop because if the sample is not sufficient they will need to go back again. They need to see the good margines. My doc wants to do a smaller scoop and if it's not enough he will need to do that again. I think it's better to endure it once. Anyway, I plan to discuss this with him again.
