Rick, that sound like something many of us could benefit from, whether or not we have neos. I can;t make it but will there be any literature or web site postings or anything?

I wish I could be there but it is too far from Texas. I had only minor leaking problems with mine for over 10 years but now after an infection I am having problems. I had a leg bag for about 6 weeks but alot of trouble with mucus kept stopping it up. Now they thought I could just cath once a day and void naturally the rest of the time but I am finding I have to cath more times a day. Oh well I had 10 easy years after neo. I hope they discover something new to do for us neo people.

I was voiding too much at one point,never have had a good stream since surgery,now can't void at all,at least i cant wet om myself.I'm cathing 4 to 5 times a day. I would to hear that discussion on voiding problems.Oct 27th will be my 1 year anniversary cancer free.

Thanks for posting this information!
