We know the battle is ongoing but we thought we could take a longer break: my mom found blood again in her urine and the latest biopsy showed that cancer cells exist. We now decide to go for radical cystectomy with conduit as recommended by the urologist. There are still a few weeks for us to psychologically prepare ourselves. We will be seeing the nurse next Monday and hopefully she will clear up our questions in mind before the big day. By the way, if anyone is going for Indiana Pouch and is wondering how to catherize, here is a youtube video (the lady is truly brave and amazing and I 100% admire her) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_hjP8Skw4w.
