Good luck and I really liked the Mayo doctors. What is a RC?

Hello Mark. No one wants to think about losing their bladder, but life can go on without it. My husband has a neobladder but has to catheterize 3 times a day. His surgery was at Mayo Rochester and he had lots of complications but is very glad he chose this direction as his scans have remained clear. Will you have an ostomy or neobladder?

@marklilly Hello, my husband was also stage 2 MIBC. This winter, he did 4 rounds of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin. On May 29th he had a radical cystectomy and is doing well. It’s a plus that you’re in good health! You get back on your feet sooner. You are in my prayers 🙏God bless, Rose
