The Stoma Begining

I’ve had prior Cancers like Bowell Cancer, Stage3 Testicular Cancer which are in remission and then Bladder Cancer. It was cleared but I was having Cystoscopies every 3mths to ensure the Bladder Cancer hadn’t returned. But what happened the last one which was in February my Urologist found the Bladder Cancer had returned and also found Cancer in the Prostate. As I’ve had Cancer’s in the area my Urologist said the best option would be to perform a Surgical Cystectomy. Due to the symptoms of the previous Cancer’s I’ve been through most of the symptoms and I’m used to wearing nappies which are no longer needed but now it’s having to wear and maintain Stoma’s and Night bags. It’s horrible but I’m no longer frequently and urgently wanting to go to the toilet and I’m getting a full night’s sleep.which I wasn’t before.
