      1. @belindaballenger - I am happy to hear that you are doing well after your RC and getting out. I just saw that you are having some back pain and might suggest following up with your doctor to make sure it is not something of concern as we do need to watch our kidneys closely after this type of surgery. Hope to hear that things are much better and you do not have back pain any more. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. My best Linda Urbanski ( moderator, Bladdercancer.net team member)
