sorry ,the date of surgery was october 2010.so until march it did work good.we discover it was not empty good when i went for my check up (EVERY 4 MONTHS). and i started to do infections,so he gave me cyproxl 500mg. I find that it comes more and more often,so my concern is will those antibiotics will work if i need to take them to often.Lately 7 days on stop 3 -4 days and mucus become more and more.

Bonjour loulou, (Sorry but that is the extend of my French.)

Welcome to the forum. I am happy that you found us, and yes, you are not alone in your bladder cancer because there are many of us here.

Can you clarify your date of surgery? You posted that you had your neobladder done in October 2011, and it worked fine for 4 "months". Did you mean 4 "weeks", or is the date typed incorrectly?

I cannot answer your question about whether the hernia has interfered with your neobladder, but hernias seem to be a fairly common thing along the incision. My last CT scan showed that I have two small ones now and others here have had them and had them repaired. So sorry you have had these complications develop.

It probably depends on where your hernia is and how large it is whether that is what is causing the neobladder to not work as well now. Also there could be mucus that could be blocking the flow as well.

I hope that your doctor discovers what is causing your problem on Monday and that it is something that he can fix quickly. Other members will post here with their insights as well. Please let us know what your doctor says after your appointment.

Best wishes... Catherine

hi
i am 54 years old female.had invasive bladder cancer,surgery for neo bladder oct 2011.Everything went fine,no complications.Neo bladder worked great for 4 months.I was so grateful.Then a hernia develop and the neo stopped working, need to use catheter 5- 6 times a day.Doctor told me it might work after they repair the hernia but this is to sure.I would like to know if something like this happened to somebody else.could take 3 for 4 months yet to get this surgery,wondering if this will affect the chance of bladder to work again,i heard about flopped neo maybee that what happened to me.I am going for follow up this Monday for scan and see the doctor who will do this hernia repair.Another surgery.always stressful to wait for this.very glad i found this site,you see you are not alone in this world with bladder cancer.what a shock when they tell you those news,i tought it was just a infection like usual.wouf...
i had kimo after surgery because out of 6 lympnodes, there was one with cancer cells. the doctor was very surprised when the resuls came back to him everything seem good,this never showed on the scan,so i guess it will not show again,so you never know if all this is gone or not.its stays in your head.
i am french so thanks for copping with my englissh.

thank you all
