Bladder cancer
Good afternoon could anyone help advise please. My husband has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. Two weeks ago he had op to remove Tumor and it’s been sent off for biopsy to see if it’s non muscle invasive. My question is how long before we are told and called back into hospital and is it normal that 2 weeks after the op that he’s urinating more and he says it stings sometimes the flow is good other times he wee s very little ! They treated him for infection but turns out no infection. Thankyou
What I did was have them call me in the prescription that turns your urine Brown. I forget the name of it palladium (?). And I took one of those after procedure. I has burning but is usually only accompanied the first couple pee's after procedure.. He will have some kind of discomfort based on the procedure itself as they're putting something through his urethra track.. After 2 weeks though I would call the doctor back and discuss it with him. I don't think he should have that pain after two weeks.
I hope that you have heard something by today or if not that you have called and been able to speak to someone. The waiting is very stressful and not fair to a patient. Keep us updated and wishing you good news very soon. Linda Urbanski (moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member) 
Hopefully you get the appointment soon but if you have concerns before you do, I would definitely reach out to your medical team sooner. Laura, Moderator, BladderCancer.net
- I assume that your husband had a TURBT to remove the tumor. I am not a medical professional but the increased urination and pain can be a result of the scraping off of the tumor. I agree that 2 weeks is a while to wait for results and I would call and schedule an appointment. I would not want you to find out that they have the results bur you cannot get info weeks. I would think that the results would be available by now but would reach out for a time now. If you wait to do this it may be even longer. I hope that the results are good and please keep us updated on how your husband is doing. We are always here for support so please reach out anytime we can be of assistance.

I completely understand your need to know what your husband is going through. Unfortunately, I can't do that for you. But I can share with you that I've been in a similar situation as you. When my mother was diagnosed and we were waiting for results, the waiting and not knowing was so hard.
As I am not medically trained, I can't give you answers on what is and isn't normal for your husband. But I recommend following up with your husband's medical team to get answers on anything that's a cause for concern.
Please let us know how he gets on. Phil, Moderator,I completely understand. It takes time to digest a diagnosis, I know it did for me. Hopefully that is good news and you get some more information soon. Sending you both positive vibes from Scotland. Laura, Moderator, BladderCancer.net
Thankyou for your kind words. Hopefully we will hear soon 🤞
I just want to echo a lot of what has been said here. I am also not medically trained, just a nerdy caregiver. When my Mom was diagnosed, the waiting was agony. We were deep in pandemic lockdowns, too, so you can imagine how hopeless and helpless we felt. Take comfort in the fact that we are mostly "back to business as usual" in society. All that being said, do not hesitate to ask questions, make phone calls, and follow-up until you are satisfied. Also, don't be afraid to seek a second opinion! I hope you hear good news soon! We have lots of varying experiences in this community, and I definitely encourage you to continue to engage here! Hoping for the best, Charles (Moderator / BladderCancer.net)
