Just had first TURBT

Had an appointment with the urologist today. We went over the findings of the surgery. I had 1 large tumor and 2 smaller satellite tumors removed. All of it was superficial, so that's good news. One of the tumors was high-grade and 2 were low-grade. It was described as T1 disease. The main tumor was large, but is had a small base.

Because of the high-grade findings in 1 or the three areas, I will receive the standard 6 installations of BCG, followed by another cystoscopy.

I'm happy to have found this nice group of people. The information I have found here is valuable.

For the BCG patients or former patients, are you able to do anything physical later on the same day as your weekly treatment? For example, would it possible to exercise or play tennis at night if you received BCG earlier that day?

Best, Jeff

Thanks for the replies. I am only 45, so this did come as somewhat of a surprise. I smoked for about 4 years back in my late teens, so who knows...I don't think about the cause, I prefer to think about moving forward.

Thank you Sara Anne for being here. It is the pits!

I also just had my first TURBT and I am anxiously awaiting my follow-up appointment this coming Friday. I am also wondering about getting a second opinion.

Best wishes to you.
