Hello TnT! So sorry we have to meet this way, but glad that you are here so we can help you. I was diagnosed 2 years ago with high grade muscle invasive bladder cancer. I am female and I have the indiana pouch diversion. Luckily, like you, I live in a city where the uro-oncologists are top notch. I can not say enough about the thorough and compassionate care I received. If you want to send me a private message to ask me any questions, please do so. I know this is an incredibly painful time for you and your husband. Take comfort in knowing that there are many on this site who will listen to you and provide you with information on our experiences. You don’t have to go through this alone. When I was told I had cancer, I thought my life was over. Now, two years later, life is still pretty great. Different, yes, but still great. Good luck on the 6th. Please keep us posted.
