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?
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.
