Hi! My Husband has muscle-invasive bladder cancer. He's presently in a clinical trial but then will have the RAD done. As a caregiver, I am a former Registered Nurse. I worked briefly in the oncology unit. Also, Rob had neck cancer before this. He had just gotten to the "remission" point with his neck when he got this diagnosis. I do wish we could have caught it before it got into the muscle but it didn't happen. So, we are at this point. We are looking at getting a neobladder for him. Did you go with the ileostomy? It seems most do. Rob's sister did. We sure wish you well and will look forward to following you. Our Best, Robin and Iris
