Time from diagnosis to urinary diversion surgury?

Sure glad F&F and Gordon replied before I did...
Same problem, I hit 0-3 Months and was told I hit too many spaces...

I too am curious about this time situation as my tumors were found on 9 May, TURB on 23 May, but with complications...so only 80% removed.

I was sent home to gain strength for two weeks and then come back to finnish the original transurethral.

Now, with the biopsy report showing T2, we are told to forget going back to remove the remaining 20% as first suggested. Entire bladder has to go.

Doc says whenever I'm ready...I do need to take care of a few business items so plan on letting them have their way with me...sometime in mid-July.

IF, the doc concurs, and you guys here don't convince me to do something different.

Diagnosed May, 2006
Surgery June, 2006

I was pretty lucky. As soon as the pathology results came back from my turbt, my urologist wrote Dr. Stein about my situation. After rearranging his surgical schedule (there were some prostate cases that weren't quite so time-critical), Dr. Stein booked me into Norris three weeks later.
