Hi Rock,

Welcome to the forum. The healing time depends on where the tumor(s) were and how many they were. Did you have a catheter after the surgery? Doug's recovery after TURBs has varied. He has felt okay to go back to work within 2 weeks (sitting at a desk). He has felt worse longer the 2 times that he had to have a catheter after the surgery. I just asked him and he said that it takes about a month for the bladder to feel "normal".

Best wishes to you as you heal. The pyridium does help to calm the bladder.
