I think we underestimate the trauma our poor bodies go through with these Turbs. Everyone is different with healing and surgeons are also different. Some more gentle than others I presume. I am post- op one month and am just starting to feel " normal" again. Not that I was in pain this entire time, but it just felt different. End of urination was uncomfortable for 3 1/2 weeks for me, while others report they felt great a few days after turbt. I think a lot depends on what exactly the surgeon has to do in there as well as his "style" should I say? Let's be honest, some surgeons are great with the knife, others not so much. We all heal differently also. I would contact your doctor and run this by him/her. This is what they do, and get paid very well to do it. I am new to bladder cancer (diagnosed Jan of this year, 47 y/o female, non smoker.) Go figure, doesn't exactly fit the bladder cancer profile but I am learning to accept this will be part of my Iife now for the rest of my life. Scopes and scans. We just have to stay on top of it now. Just keep in mind that our bodies WILL heal, given the time it needs. Good luck to you!!
