a month agoI’m going in for my 2nd Turbt, this is just 8 weeks from major heart surgery I had. This 2nd tumor, small Dr says), was found over 2 months ago. Now…. What will he find during the Turbt surgery will be, interesting to say the least. All these surgeries I’ve had this year are weighing my down heavily!!

a month agoHaving multiple surgeries in a short timeframe can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with both heart and bladder concerns. Your healthcare team will carefully evaluate whether you're ready for the procedure, taking into account your recent heart surgery and overall recovery progress. Many patients in this community understand how emotionally and physically draining frequent medical procedures can be, and your feelings about this situation are completely valid.

a month agoDr I think held this surgery off a bit just due to major heart surgery, but my biggest concern is that tumor now. It was high grade first time so… all I’m trying to be careful of is not losing my bladder,
