Radical cystectomy

Sorry not been on for while, 8 weeks since my op, I feel so much better since I was last on, saw consultant last week, good news, biopsies show everything clear in what they removed, bladder showed cancer cells,but I already knew that when it reacurred at Xmas after BCG treatment this is why l chose RC, so no further treatment, have a routine scan in 6 months time, upper and lower body, hopefully if ok then just  yearly check up, felt so happy when I came out of hospital, positive news at last, got used to my stoma now so hopefully things on the up, also consultant says I can go back to work next week, I only do part time, looking after special needs children on mini bus, looking forward to go back, my best wishes to everyone else on this site, take care margben
