He had a cyst on them but that seems better. Is this a normal thing after a bladder removal. rlose Rose 123 Thu, 17 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT I believe that you and I have talked before. My dad had his bladder out one year ago. What is going on with your husband? Im sorry to hear that its watch and wait again for you. Dad had to have a ureter stricture removed due to scar tissue whcih was aweful due to the complications he had. Godd luck Deb Heart Fri, 08 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT Hi, I did't /don't remember what your dad had in replacement. Roger has an external bladder. We finally got a set of supplies that work well for him. He uese convetec convexity. It took about 6 months and several calls to the companies to get the correct equipment. He rarely has an accident any more. ?With what your dad had removed, what did they do to help him? What is he using now. Sorry his scared so badly. The last test was a fluid test where they ran fluids into the penis to check if the cancer and regrown in that tube. At least they are checking. I don't think we are in too much problmes yet, it is just the watch, watch and hope stage. But thanks for asking. Was there a reason for your Dad having such a tough recovery? Share only if you want to. Rose Rose 123 Sun, 10 Sep 2006 00:00:00 GMT Dad had an abcess that casued a blood clot after his neo-bladder sugery. THis clot them had him on blood thinners which is aweful. he then developed scar tissue in his ureter and had to have that removed. the sugery went well but due to the thinners he bleed internally. it was aweful but now thank goodness he has recovered and is doing well. keep in touch.
