Hi,

I had a neo put in 3 years ago and must cath in order to void, I am totally hyper incontinent.

I cath abput every 2 1/2 hours day and night and I did speak to my surgeon on the "swing", he stated unless I want another place for the cancer to possibly return he DOES NOT recommend it!!!

I have learned to adjust to my way of life with cathing, am very active, work 9 hours a day and loving life.

Hopefully I can be of sone help.

good luck Sidra...all the gals with neo's are pretty much gone from the site...at home wearing diapers or cathing....or have had a revision to an ileal conduit. Hope someone pops up for you. You already know my take on hammocks!

my doc is suggesting using a hammock. has anyone heard of this ?
i am looking but can't find anything about the use of a hammock in relation to a neo B) bladder.
