    Hi Gord and rock2013, thank you both for sharing your experiences. I’m so glad I can get feedback from people who have actually been through what I’m about to.
    I’m still undecided and have yet to talk to surgeon. I’m wondering about complications from Neo-bladder as we get older. Any thoughts? I guess that’s something I need to find out about from the surgeon as well.

    Thanks for all your answers to my questions. Its always better to talk to someone who’s been through these things.
    I still have some time before I need to make final decision, but I will definitely speak with the surgeon first.

    Thanks

    Dear DDep and Ken, thanks for both your replies. I sure wish I didn’t have to make this decision.
    I just wanted to ask you Ken, how long did it take for your recovery? Do you still have to have cystoscopy ?
    I’m a fairly fit 54yr old with no other major health problems, an avid golfer and I own a small restaurant.
    Honestly, its the self catheterization aspect that’s really causing me to have second thoughts about the neo-bladder.
    Thanks
    George
