Happy to Be Alive

I had bladder cancer nearly 5 years ago. My urine was red, so I went to the hospital and, after tests, was told I had bladder cancer. I wasn't given a choice to have it removed. They took everything away.

Life is good even after bladder removal

I have lived with the stoma for that long and am happy with it. I'm alive. I have checks every year now and am clear so far. So if you have bladder cancer get it seen to and enjoy life after.
