Help from WOMEN with NEO BLADDER

Barb,

No matter what diversion your sis ends up with...we are here for you...a wealth of experience can be found here, in all areas, whether it's the ileal, the Indy pouch or the neo. And if we don't have the answers, we will surely work with you to try to find out...most importantly, as someone said earlier, we are here to listen, comfort, encourage, pray, even cry with your sis and you. Let us hope for the best, remain positive and pray for strength. I will be praying she will be just fine...stay in touch. God bless. Hugs to you both. Melodie

Perhaps your sister could call USC Norris to talk to one of the excellent doctors there. They may be able to advise her of a Kaiser doctor that does the Indiana pouch. It is a small community of specialists. Good luck.

You ladies always make me cry but they are good tears at knowing I have your loving support. When I get to my sisters I will set up her computer with this web site and try to teach her to use it. She had brain surgery many years ago for epilepsy and it is difficult for her to do computers. If she can't do it then she can work through me and I will pass all your words of support on to her via email or phone. Love, Barb

Barbara,

Well whoever said this lousey medical system was fair to all, more esp. to women....*$($*%)(#+ ! I feel bad for your sister that she doesn't have more options but I guess I have to look at the bright side and say, well, at least she has an option. And she has your strength and support to help her along this difficult journey. I will pray that all goes as well as it possibly can for her surgery. I pray this doctor can in fact, deliver what he indicates he can...the best results for your sis. I am marking that day on my calender to pray more in depth for her that day and for you...those waiting while the doctors work is no picnic either. Take care, Hugs. Melodie

Thanks Patricia, See my response to Melodie as it applies to you too. Barb
