@ronzee50
I hope you will not mind my asking a question and if you should, then I apologize in advance.
I am interested in knowing what the circumstances were which lead to your having a radical cystectomy? Was your cancer invasive and/or too complicated or was it a matter of all other treatments failing and this was the only viable option?
From your encouraging posts to others, you sound like a strong, determined and well adjusted person and I admire you. I think bravery is something we learn in increments and it then becomes part of our permanent emotional fabric. I hope this will become the case for myself as well since I first began this journey last summer.
Sending my very best wishes to you. Be well.

@ronzee50 he seemed wonderful and it was less painful than previous recovery from my then urologist.
He conducts several clinical trials so if needed I’d hopefully have a good chance.
Still hoping for an easy to test outcome.
