HTXfire:
At November cystoscopy following my initial TURBT, doc saw "3 or 4 red patches" around the initial resection site. (Of course this news didn't help my state of mind.) Had a second TURB with intravesical Mitomycin in December, although no catheter. Doc resected one site and biopsied another; pathologist identified cystitis cystica, but no cancer in tissues. Between weeks seven and nine, following 2nd TURB, started having some discomfort when urinating (particularly getting flow started), with minor bleeding and passing small clots. Sounds like your reaction is much more severe, but timing seems similar. I don't know if my experience was a reaction to Mitomycin or just the healing process. At March cystoscopy, doc says "it's still healing in there." He'll be taking another look-see soon. Hope your symptoms diminish quickly. Stu
