Hi Dawn, I had an RC last December and already my ‘quality of life’ is better.
My ‘old’ bladder was very painful and it’s function was deteriorating after several years of biopsies, cystoscopies and two rounds of BCG, so it was a relief for me when my doctor recommended an RC after my cancer returned. I now have a Neo Bladder which I’m gradually getting used to. I don’t have any pain or discomfort. I do leak a little still but that to me is easier to deal with than what I was dealing with before.
I hope this helps you a little. I’m so glad I went through the surgery – it wasn’t easy but to me it was well worth it. I’d be happy to talk to you if you would like.
