Potter...somehow from what i've read the guys seem to have a rougher time of it with the TURBS. I had my second TURB 9 days after my first one with no problems at all but i only had one site....a nasty one as it was invasive....but no ill effects after the surgery at all. Pat

Hi all,
just an update on my own personal situation. Two cystos previous revealed I had bladder stones and more importantly some stones embedded into the former site of my BC. Doctor suggested allowing a further six weeks to allow the stones to "flush" themselves out. This did not happen. He also intimated the same thing could happen again. At the last cysto he said that he wanted to remove the stones so he could get a clear view of the former BC site and furthermore wanted to do a biopsy. He also said he felt confident that the BC had not returned. Are the side effects of second biopsies less than the first one. The doctor suggested that this was the case. What do you warriors out there think? What have your experiences been like?

best wishes all, Potter ;)
