Hi all, I hope everyone is as good as they can be.
You may recall I posted a while ago stating that my bladder is basically hopeless as I'm only capable of holding around 50ML of urine. Well, since then, it's got worse, and I'm lucky if I can hold 25-30ml now. This is all because of a severe dose of radiation cystitis, and subsequent bladder shrinkage.
I had a consultation with my urologist about a salvage cystectomy. It's exactly the same as radical cystectomy, but unlike RC, it's not a first line treatment - more last resort. He's trying me on some new meds to stop the urination urge, but 5 weeks on, I'm feeling little to no effect.
I have an appointment with him next Wednesday, whereby I have to make a final decision - but, he put a fly in the ointment on my last appointment by saying that I'm an ideal candidate for Botox in the bladder - the same Botox that's used for facelifts.
I know it's a long shot, but anyone here had it? If so, did it work?
I may even post this on the prostate cancer forum too...
