how long does it take to heal after bladder cancer treatment?
Surgery, usually a week or so if you only had the tumor removed. If you had the whole bladder removed (cystectomy) or a partial cystectomy about 6-8 weeks. If you had carcinoma insitu and are receiving weekly treatments of a medication through a catheter, then you’re usually back to normal in a day.

Is there a link between bed-wetting and asthma? I need Advice on the incontinence issue!?
I am 24 and I started wetting the bed after I had several surgeries on my abdomen. I think that my bladder has been weakened by the many catheters that I have had. The doc is not totally sure why i started to wet the bed. The wetting stopped after my last surgery only to start back up again about a month ago. I also have had some increased asthma attacks Is there anyway that there is a link between my asthma and my wetting the bed? And if you have any suggestion on a good brand for incontinence product i would love some advice. I am currently using the assurance brand of adult diapers from Wal-Mart but they leak dreadfully. I need some advice!
Really don’t know the answer about the asthma and bed wetting, I think your Dr. would be able to answer that. I recommend Tranquility. They are available online at Dignity With Diapers.
WHERE TO BUY MALE INCONTINENCE PRODUCTS IN MANILA PHILIPPINES?
Does anybody know where to buy incontinence products (pads, briefs, urinary collection system) for males in the Philippines? I found several websites which feature various products to aid men who suffer from incontinence. I am particularly interested in the Alpha Dry System for Incontinence or a similar product. I need it for my dad who has just undergone prostate removal. He is very uncomfortable because he feels wet and passes urine all the time. Thanks in advance. Your response will be highly appreciated.
Yeah it’s called a pharmacy.
He needs to go to the doctor and have that looked at. Not being able to control urine flow isn’t normal. Even for prostate surgery. Removing the prostate should affect the urinary sphicter.

Beagle, male 11yrs: Bladder stones or cancer?
My dog is sick, and he’s getting an ultrasound today to try to see what is wrong, but I love that dog to death, so naturally I’m killing myself gathering information. The vet did a urine test on Tuesday afternoon and said that it didn’t look like an infection, and infections in males were rare, and there was some unusual cell activity. He put him on antibiotics anyway though for two weeks, cause it could still be that, he said. So we know nothing more than we did when we brought him in. :/ The following is a list of all his symptoms:
- Bloody urine. It’s not bright red and there’s not always blood, it’s mixed in with the pee and just sort of faintly salmon-colored, so there’s not a lot of it.
- Painful urination. When he squats down to pee he groans and grunts and sniffs intermittently.
- Frequent urination. He pees, then pees again. And again. And again. Sometimes it’s a proper pee, and sometimes very little comes out.
- Near incontinence. Occasionally he’ll drip little trails of urine when he’s just walking around or jumping onto the couch.
- Increased thirst. He heads straight for the water dish after he pees, and every time he passes it, and he never used to do this before. He also drinks for much longer periods of time than he ever used to. If I gave it a conservative guess, I’d say he’s drinking 3 times the water he used to.
- He’s constantly licking and nuzzling his genitals, and this is not normal behavior for him. And I do not say "constantly" lightly.
- Increased agitation. He just can’t sit still anymore, he’s always standing up and circling around just to plop right back where he was, or moving from sitting to lying down, or curled up to stretched out, or at the other end of the couch, or whatever. And after he’s done about every position he can think of, he’ll get back up to pee again.
- Straining to urinate. He squats down and stays there for a very, very long time now. It’s gotten slowly longer and longer. He sometimes pees in short bursts, especially if he’s just got a smallish amount.
And in the past few days he’s been a little trembly and weak, which may be more pain, or the antibiotics, or canine parkinsons, who knows what. I don’t think he’s got fever, but we don’t have a thermometer. I think that’s it.
So what I’ve read all says the same thing, and both conditions have basically the same symptoms. I think that he has more stone symptoms, but that’s likely something I’ve tricked myself into believing just because I hope it’s true. What do you think?
I think you need to leave the guessing alone and wait until your vet has done all the testing he needs to do, to get a complete picture. It does sound, to me, as if he may well have bladder stones, and this needs treating asap as eventually in the male, he will block up (it’s because of the bone in the male penis). It should be comparatively simple to scan his bladder to find out, or even run a catheter in to see if it passes smoothly, or ’scrapes’. Poor boy, he sounds as if he’s very uncomfortable, so you have done right to get him into a vet. If you don’t get the answers you are looking for, get a second opinion/switch vets. But I’m sure he’ll get to the root of what’s going on.
Hopefully it’s not cancer, but again, he’s elderly, and who knows. And make sure he checks his prostate too, although this is more likely to affect him passing a stool, than urine (from my experience – with 2 elderly males we had).
ps Much as it’s tempting, try to stay away from Internet research! It will scare you to death (been there!) – a little learning ………. and all that!

Help in filing taxes State and Federal (small business)?
Hi
First of all let me start by saying i have no experience at all in filing taxes.
My sister is away and out of the country and also has little experience in this since she still goes to school.
A few months ago she started this business wherein she provides incontinence products to a number of nursing home/senior health care facilities. I occasionally drop a few of the orders and help her out as much as I can. She asked if I could help her out in finding out what forms to file. It’s the weekend now so government offices are probably closed. I will call 1st thing monday but just thought I would ask here 1st.
Here are the details: Small business, sole proprietor, if the state matters we’re in New Jersey. she buys the products at costco and has em delivered at the facilities. What forms do i file for state and federal? any more information needed please ask.
Thanks.

You know, if your school had taught CIVICS AND LIFE SKILLS, you could have done this yourself.
You need to learn how to do research.
Yahoo is not research.
