In October 2017 I had a successful operation to remove a large tumour from the bowel and bladder. Unfortunately since the operation my bladder has not worked properly. I have a fistula and am waiting for a cystoscopy to determine where so it might be repaired. Has anyone else had this problem. It is very draining and can make me emotional is this common.

Good morning , I’m sorry you’ve waited all evening without a reply. I have a different cancer type so can’t answer your question but thought I’d pop in to say hi. It’s very natural to seek people who have gone ahead of you with the same treatment I know I did. Can I suggest you join the bowel cancer group and repost. I’ve put a link in below for you to click on. Then the instructions on how to join the group are on that page, and you already know how to start a discussion. The help button also gives you tips on completing a profile that helps people answer any questions and it helps when people answer you to click on theirs to see their experience.

Happy hunting for the info you want and need.

Take care KT
