Hi all,
My dad had Turb on Tues, went ok, doc thinks he got it all, it was pretty big though, about ¼ size of his bladder, does this seem abnormally big or does size matter?
My dad will be in hospital until Saturday which surprised me seen as according to a lot of posts on this site, a lot of people are out on the same day! He was pretty sick and sore Tues and Wednesday and even today, his catheter kept clotting and this caused a lot of discomfort, it blocked so many times that they had to remove it this morning! Suppose no man expects tubes to be sticking out of his manly bits for too long LOL...
I spoke to the doc after the operation, very nice man, I’ve dealt with a lot of docs and he certainly was one of the nicest, he answered all my questions (as best he could at this early stage!) and there was no time pressure or anything, I was very impressed that he recognises we're people and not just a number, I think he thought I was a bit mental with my A4 sheet of questions, its a running joke in my family now
He said he couldn’t answer what stage etc it was but that there was a 30% chance it had some sort of invasion
What does this mean, I suppose I should see the positive side, its 70% it’ll be fine but obviously I'm worried sick! AM I being naïve, could the growth still be benign??
Results not for 2/3 weeks now, more waiting
