To neobladder or not to neobladder, that is my ?

Hi Mike..i'll let the guys reply on that..but the decision might be up to your surgeon depending what the involvement is. Most of the guys love their neobladder so i'm hoping that Tim, Mike G, and the others reply soon.
Good luck with your appointment at MD Anderson. Which doc are you seeing?

To neobladder or not to neobladder, that is my ? 0 Minutes ago
Since my bladder cancer came back (and I can't do BCG) my expecation is that I'm going to have to make the decision on neobladder or stoma pretty soon.

My questions are:

If you did get a neobladder,
-Was it worth it?
-How soon were you able to regain continence?
-What are the things you think are important to know?

If you did not get a neobladder,
-What are the things you think are important to know?

In either case:

-What was the primary reason you chose the option you did?
-How soon were you able to resume normal activities?
-If you had to make the decision again today, would you make the same choice?
-What complications did you experience?
-Is there any option that would offer hope of not having to get up in the night?
-What do you wish you knew before you chose the option you did that you can pass on to me (and others on the forum) to help them decide?

Thanks in advance!

Mike
