If I ever need an RC I have already decided on the ileal conduit. Actually you won;t have anything stuck in you. It’s a part of your own body without nerve endings that will be used to pass the urine to the external pouch. The same thing as the urine going through the ureter to the bladder. I know it will take some getting used to bu Just about everyone who has one can do essentially what they did prior. It’s not at all like having a catheter or an IV stuck in you. You won;t even know it’s there just like you don;t think much about your belly button (well, at least I don’t. Greg has an obsession with them I think). You’ll be fine. You will get through an adjustment period, but you will be cancer free.
