Dear Leigh.
Sometimes it just never ends with one problem or another, but, as with my recent surgery, we all pray it's not cancer. I can't offer any advice about the surgery, but having just taken my cahteter out my advice regarding catheters is walk and get up and down very slowly. :P

hi there
could your growth be stones in your bladder, my indiana pouch makes stones and they appear on the ct scans and ultrasounds and I have had them removed 3 times, I do not know if your neobladder makes stones, it seems to come from mucous and urine calcifications. For me it is quick 10 minute surgery but if it is moving around then maybe it could be that

Leigh , Just wanted you to know that Harry and I will keep you in prayer for the procedure to be successful with a quick recovery. Also that all continues to go well for you during your chemo treatments. Are you having four cycles of chemo? When Harry started his third he felt it was almost complete (he had 4 cycles)and that kept him going through the process. Not at all easy, but do-able and he's feeling better day by day and you will too. Margot and Harry

Best of luck to you, Leigh. I guess we never really know when we're finished having surgery, but I sincerely hope this is the last for you.
