I was diagnosed rather late with muscle invasive bladder cancer 15 months ago. Not curable but treatable as they say. Have undergone both chemo and radio therapy. The situation  has stabilised but am dependent on double nephrostomies for urine extraction. Any advice on how to shower with these attachments?

  • Hi . I can't help with your question, but just let me welcome you to the group. I am sure someone with experience of this will be along to help. Best wishes.

    Best wishes to All,   rily.

    I had one for a few weeks before my RC op. This was because the tumour was blocking a tube. The district nurses provided me with a waterproof cover for my dressing, it was a bit like a big transparent plaster that stuck well to the surrounding skin. It worked well enough to shower.
