How long did you wait for treatment after surgery?

Posted by judilafleur @judilafleur, Nov 24, 2024

Is there a time frame on how long a person has to wait, or should wait for treatment after surgery?

Here is a link regarding timing from a post I submitted on another thread:

To add- My husband’s new urologist had him do another turbt because 2-3 months had passed since surgery. He wanted to make sure we were starting with a clean slate before starting treatment. It’s good he did because there was some new growth.

Dec. 6th I had 2 small tumors removed. I don't know there was options on "different ways of removal". I'm going in for a CT scan to see if there is nothing else lurking in there.
Then Bcg treatments (6) Then 3 maintenance treatments. This is the first time I have had Maintenance treatments. This is my 3rd surgery. Hope this helps. Thank you

Hi @judilafleur, good question and I'm sure there will be a variation in the answers from members. If I recall from your introductory post, you were recently diagnosed with high-grade non-invasive bladder cancer.

When did you have surgery and what kind? How is recovery going? What is the treatment plan after surgery?
