    :cheer: :laugh: Well, I said goodbye to my cancerous bladder and prostate on 9/11/10 and became a bagman — had another sonagram, blood work and saw surgeon and I do not have to go back for a year —‘Lord Willin’ and Creek Don’t Rise! Oh I did solve the skin breakouts and irration around stoma; finally found a bag and wafer that stays stuck for a week —though I do not go over 4 days because I do not want skin to act up again. I have told wound nurses and doctors that this website gave the right advice and helped me solve the issue, so you all pat yourselves on the back. Love you all Take Care. :laugh:

    Age 72 had radical 9/11/10 have conduit everything is fine, grateful to be a cancer survivor. Lost Dad and Brother to Cancer both in their 50’s.
