Hi thank you very much for allowing me to join. 
within 3 months (what started as a suspected kidney stone) ….. I have had two operations to remove a 4cm tumour and a further shave of the area. 
im now having my bladder/prostate and lymph nodes removed on Monday 11th Nov. 
1 night in intensive care and up to a week in hospital after this. 
Has anyone's else been down the same route?

  • Hi Dave

    Wishing you the best of luck with your Cystectomy next month! I had my RC operation on 25th September. The only advice I can offer is perhaps a little bit of physio to strengthen your core before the Op. I’m sure the operation will be successful & you‘ll find coping with your stoma surprisingly easy.

    Best wishes
