Well folks my one year post RC CT scan came back all clear, my bloods are A1, and I have not had any UTI for months. Great! Yesterday was my 1st Stomaversary. Where did the time go. Feeling great and very positive about the future. For me a RC was 100% the right choice and totally worth it.

where has the time gone Leo, it feels like weeks ago rather than a whole year .! I remember thinking the nightmare it had been for you on the BCG, and could understand your decision to have the RC. Really happy for you Leo, glad life is good and may it continue for many years . sending you love .
Much love Angela x
Hi Leo,
Great news, it's a good feeling when you realise you made the right decision isn't it?
My anniversary is mid January and my next scan will be sometime next March so I confidently expect to celebrate 3 years with a stoma and without my bladder.
It has been a bit of a journey but I have learnt a lot along the way and been supported by so many lovely people since I found this site too.
All the best
