Hi N19ULS . I've not had removal so not much help, but let me welcome you to the group. I am sure others will be along to share experiences. I do know there is a long recovery period which may not be conducive with heavy work. It may help if you let us know what you have done so far . Have you been offered any other treatment other than cystectomy? Best wishes.
Hi N19ULS, welcome to this friendly informative group, you will gets lots of help on here. I have not had bladder removal, did get offered it but choose the Bcg route. I had Grade 3A PT1 with CIS. Diagnosed in 2022 and been on the Bcg since then after tumour removal. Was bladder removal your only option?
