I headed to chemo 12 times myself over ten years ago now. Hang in there and know that I have my fingers crossed that the chemo kicks butt for you. The Radical Cystectomy is not bucket list material but like you I knew it was part of the journey to the other side of bladder cancer. When they give you the greeen light get yourself up and start walking as much as you physically can as soon as you can. It gets the intestinal track, well back on track and builds your strength back. I had mine done in May and was dancing to La’Bamba in Sept. at a wedding. Hard road but doable.
Because of security reasons (I can tell you stories) we do not allow emails on the forum if you will send me a messege with your email on the contact form here I will get it to Carla. Other members learn from what goes on in the forum so we also like to keep information sharing on the forum if possible. People that just read count thousands to one poster.
