Issues after TURBT (female): Urgent urinary incontinence? Blood?

I’m feeling down today after my 2nd TURBT, Dr found more high grade urothelial carcinoma (3x5x3x0.4) Smaller than Jan 27 (6cm) but I was hoping for none. I’m having more discomfort than first surgery. I don’t think I fully healed from first. Only med I’m on is Pyridium. Urination is frequent, spending $$$$ on depends and incontinence pads. Called Dr today for something for pain. My next appt is 3/20 to discuss surgery and options. I’m a 82 female.

@rafcer, how did your appointment go? What will be next for you?

I know your post has been here a while, but I haven't been on recently. I saw this post and wanted to ask if you have tried using d-Mannose? I mentioned it to my urologist and oncologist, and they endorsed it for me. It really seems to reduce bladder inflammation/pain. About a week after each treatment, I end up with no pain or irritation, unless I forget to take the d-Mannose each day. When I am using it daily, basically I have no pain. Since both my urologist and oncologist approved it for me, I will keep on taking it until I am done with the GEMDOCE intravessicle treatments. Only five more at 1/month! Some people experience loose bowel issues with it, but it is OK for me.
