Thank you so much for messages of support. Surgery over, and home again. All went well. Now the wait for two weeks or so until histology arrives. Miraculously, the terrible lower back pain I've had, mostly centred on one side (a known symptom of bladder cancer) has disappeared. Wonderful. Very little abdominal discomfort remains. I'm told to behave "like a fragile patient" for two weeks. :)
So sorry to hear what you have gone through @Flaneuse :( Wonderful to hear that surgery is over and you are keeping a good spirit. Sending you speedy healing vibes. x
