Sir; Ihad stage 4 bladder cancer 5 years ago and had to have bladder, prostate,lymps, and part of stomach removed. Also had to do chemo using taxol and gemzar extreamly brutal stuff. My doctor here in nashville was blunt brutally honest about everything. He said sex may be an issue but he would do his best (he was same age as me 49) . Well as you see I'm still here he saved most nerves and I've with the same gal for 25 years, sex is good and life is even better. at least im here to enjoy it

Very well done..Thank you Sir, I too have had this done to me, My Urologist believes that possible exposure to herbicides is why the cancer occured to begin with..However, our Federal Government could care Less..and our VA will fight you tooth and nail..apparently, Bladder Cancer is no big deal...I should just live with it..too bad..

NEED a sex life it is very important to their health, emotionally and physically and you deserve more than ...Oh well you didn't ask. It is their job to tell you all that is involved before and after that is your right and that would be informed consent. No one who just received the kind of news you did should be left to figure it out on your own. My heart goes out to you....Jessica...Also do you mind if I share your video with my class?...my email address is jm_rumsey@yahoo.com

I am currently also undergoing treatment for urologic problems and have the hopes that it does not lead to the diagnosis of cancer. Those involved in patient treatment are held to high standards and informed consent is a Mandatory Standard. You should have been informed of all issues concerning the treatment including how you life will change after the surgery especially when it involves something so personal that cannot be given back. If it were me I would have refused the sugery..some people

Dear Sir,

I felt the need to comment on your video. I am a current Medical Assistant student and am taking a course called Medical Law and Bioethics and we were just discussing Medical malpractice and negligence. I appoligize deeply for the fact that these medical professionals did not take the time to explain all that should have been explained. Maybe at 61 it is not such a huge deal to not have sex but, for some it is...what was done is negligent and those involved should be held accountable.
