So 1st of May I had the radical cystectomy, it was ok I did still wake with pain but got through it .
Didn't realise I was having an epidural as well as general and had robot assisted surgery. Looked at the clock as the epidural went in , it was 8.10am and the next i knew i was being put on the ward and it was 7pm.
Recovery is slow had 9 days in hospital but now I'm home , getting used to the bag and the routine , still so stiff post 21 days , I keep having little walks but very awkward in my movements. I can't put my socks on or stand up for long periods but healing .
Now waiting for my consultant to give me the news from oncology, has the cancer all gone? Or is it still there and has spread. Nervous and a little afraid but what will be will be
Hope your all doing well?
