Re: bad news
Trusting all goes well William. I have prostate and it was put into remission but have a catheter straight into my bladder. It's been there seven years and does not give me any discomfort or problems. My mate in England has had a stoma for more than a decade and is very well and does not prevent him from getting about and enjoying life.
Be strong.
