Eddie M.,,,the turbt done at our local hospital was the determining factor in the final diagnosis, after one nite in the hospital he was free to come home and carry on, he did have a catheter for 12 days, didn’t like it much but I really don’t think it was necessary for that period of time, the turbt at the Cleveland Clinic was much different in that no cath was needed..12 days is a long time, surgery was one month later, so hence my trust in what is done at local hospital rather than major causes me concern as to there expertise…….after his turbt he had some cramping which I called about, seems normal so they say, the other thing was debris was present clots and such.., also normal as if they do scraping its the after math, so don’t be frightened but report such things to the urologists, but know its typical……my husbands tumor was attached to the muscle in the bladder and was 5cm…so they did alot of scraping, your case could be much simplier depending on whats in there………we went to our grandsons baseball games, cath and all, just wore knee length shorts…you’ll be good!!!
