On November 21, 2011 I had my bladder, prostate, appendix and lymph nodes removed because of bladder cancer.
I now have an Indiana Pouch, which I cath through a stoma where my belly button used to be.
Every three to 4 hours, the rest of my life, I will have to endure this new form of bodily waste function.
But, as others point out consistantly, "At least I am cancer free, and alive"
No matter what life may have for me from now on, regardless how that life may be, only my attitude, and my opinions can dictate how I advance or fall.
Only I can decide what my normal will be.
All I know, is life will never be the same.
