I recieved this email from a man named Al. The email address I was given does not work so I am hoping he find this here. I am sure that the some of the rest of us will chime in with more information.

When you have your bladder removed it is called a Radical Cystectomy, they do a bladder reconstruction there are a few types of urinary diversion that you will see dicribed. Here are two good links to information on our site. As you can see I have posted your question to our forum section of the site as there are many people including myself that are doing very well with all of the different diversions you will see in these articles.
