My husband just had a Radical Cystectomy on May 29th. He’ll be coming home tomorrow. He had been diagnosed with Stage 2 MIBC. He had 8 hookups for Gem/Cis and a month later the RC. He seems to be doing well. Still has JP drain and gives himself shots to prevent blood clots for a month…also, getting used to the urostomy pouch. He said he needs help getting up , but once he’s up…he can walk and walk. I have soups, Protein Shakes, mashed potato’s, applesauce, pancakes, and 3 Liters of water a day. Now we are waiting for the Pathology Report. The surgeon said he took out all lymph nodes and saw no metastatic cancer.

I'm glad he's doing so well! It sounds like you're taking terrific care of him!

During my RC, they found cancer in 1 of the lymph nodes of the 24 removed.
