Hello all. I found out I had a bladder tumour after speaking to my GP about HRT (I'm 51) during the summer.... Mentioned I had pelvic pain and was referred for a scan of my ovaries and uterus. During this process the technician spotted a vascular growth in my bladder of 3 x 2cm. Cytoscopy wasn't possible due to urethral stricture so I had TURBT, intravesical chemo and urethral stretching under general anesthesia on Friday 15th. Had hoped this would be the end of it but been told I have to wait for lab findings to see if further treatment is needed.
Got home on Saturday and felt great but last night I was hit by a wave of exhaustion.. now feel a bit sore 'down below' - manageable with painkillers. Assuming this is just the hospital meds wearing off! Had thought I'd be back to work in a couple of days but thinking a week off may be needed... Grateful to hear of anyone elses experience? Like most folk, this has all been a bit unexpected...!! Thanks!
