Bladder Cancer - 9 - 5-year Update

Five years after my neobladder and prostatectomy surgery. The New Normal with a neobladder and how bladder cancer has affected me. This is the 9th in a series of videos that document my experience with bladder cancer and its treatment. In the Fall of 2015, at the age of 38, I was diagnosed with Stage 2, aggressive bladder cancer. These videos are a detailed account of my treatment and some of the helpful lessons that I learned along the way. The story is unfiltered; I don't avoid frightening, painful, or embarrassing topics. My treatment consisted of four rounds of MVAC chemotherapy followed by a radical cystectomy and prostatectomy with an orthopedic neobladder urinary diversion. Thanks to many excellent doctors and nurses, countless unseen researchers, two extraordinary surgeons, and the support of my family and friends, Spring of 2021 marked my fifth year of remission.
