Axle,
Sounds normal depending on who much burning/cutting they do. As Sara Anne said, do mention to your URO’s nurse. One usually gets a faster response. Also, 2nd TURB is very common just to be sure of margins and a confirmation. I thought my guy had goofed up when he ordered a second. Last item, it is common to pass a scab/old blood/maybe even new blood where it dislodges 14-17 after your TURB. If I was not warned about it I would have freaked out.
DX 5/6/2008 TAG3 papillary tumor .5 CM in size. 2 TURBS followed by 6 instillations of BCG weekly with a second round of 6 after a 6 week wait.
This is not unusual, but you should mention it to the doctor. I have found that the best way to do this is to call his/her office and ask to speak with his NURSE. They are much easier to contact and are usually very helpful.
