My husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 10/2011. He had neoadjuvant chemo for several months, his major surgery including formation of the ileal conduit for ostomy in spring 2012. Lots of complications, and ureter revision surgery in summer 2013. He’s been on the kidney transplant list for a couple years now, though is currently inactive on the list because his GFR is at 24...higher than when he was first places on the list.

Has your husband experienced frequent infections like @hodagwi describes in his last message? If yes, how are they managed?
