Seven years ago I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After trips to 2 Urologists to confirm I was treated with BCG treatments which did nothing for my condition. I also had it in the Prostate. After a discussion and many systoscopies I didn’t have much choice to remove my bladder and prostate as the cancer would soon break through the bladder lining
Which would have spread to other organs and game over. I wear a urine bag which was hard to get used to but better than the other alternative . After a few weeks I was used to it and no problems since.
Each year I return to hospital for annual scan and check up. No sign of cancer returning so for me it was a blessing in disguise. Hope this helps folks suffering the same misfortunes. There is life after bladder removal

Hang in there. …..Foss

Thank you for this encouraging message. My husband is having cystectomy Monday.
