Back in Motion: Life After Bladder Removal
from Leaks, Laughs & Life with a Urostomy · host DLK, LLC
Why would someone need their bladder removed? It is not something anyone plans for, but for many people, it becomes part of their story due to serious health challenges like bladder cancer, interstitial cystitis, neurological conditions, or other complications. In this episode of Leaks, Laughs & Life with a Urostomy, Dawn shares real-life perspective on the reasons behind bladder removal and what that reality looks like on the other side. This is not about medical explanations. It is about understanding the human side of the journey and what leads people here. Whether you are preparing for surgery, adjusting to life with a urostomy or neobladder, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers honesty, reassurance, and a reminder that you are not alone. Dawn also shares the story behind her upcoming book, Leaks, Laughs & Life with a Urostomy: The Handbook, created after searching for answers and finding very little real-world guidance. Tune in for a real conversation about why bladder removal happens and how life continues forward.
