Don't Be Embarrassed by Bladder Issues

My name is John Walters and seven years ago I developed bladder cancer. After several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, the tumors in my bladder grew. To get rid of the cancer, my urologist decided to remove my bladder. After the surgery was completed, I was embarrassed by my new ostomy bag. After I got used to the device, I realized that the bladder removal surgery was a great success. I was cancer free and I should not be embarrassed by the device that removed the urine from my body. I then decided to answer any and all questions asked about the bag. If you have an ostomy bag, or if you have frequent UTIs, a shy bladder, or an incontinence issue, you should not be embarrassed either. Everyone needs to excrete wastes, and this blog teaches others about all of the potential bladder and urinary issues that can occur.
