I had operation to remove large tumour on the bowel and bladder in Oct 2017. I was very lucky blessed that my surgeon was able to remove it all. I now have colostomy which I cope with quite well. Unfortunately since the operation my bladder has been leaking and I am now waiting for another cystoscopy to determine where a fistula might be. Then I will have to wait to have it repaired. Has anyone had this I find it emotionally draining and don't really understand why.
Sorry to read your latest situation . I can well imagine having to face another aspect is emotionally draining .
I can’t help with your question but just going to pop it back up to the top of the page to see if others can .
You might also like to check with the bladder forum to see if they have any experience or our helpline staff might be able to offer support . 0808 808 0000.
Hope it gets resolved quickly for you ,
