I had my bladder and prostate removed 22 years ago. I progressed well after surgery and was even released from the hospital 3 days early. After chemo the pouch simply became second nature. Just be sure to follow up on your exams for ever! I hope you have an easy experience if that’s what you elect to do. Treatments now are so much easier, with immunotherapy also becoming more prevalent. Best of luck to you.

Hi: I am new to this group, just found it and registered. I too have been diagnosed with bladder cancer that invaded the muscle tissue. It was a long road but on Nov 11, 2021 I met with a urologist who went into my bladder and scraped it out. Then I met with a surgeon and had my bladder & prostate removed on April 11. Thank God there were no complications. 6 days in the hospital and I was home. Not 1 pain. Took some time to get my head on straight but with the help of a psychiatrist who prescribed some medication, I am ok now. Good luck in the future.
