Thanks for the info but I think I'd rather hear that from a real doctorI feel for ya matey. I am a displaced Yank, living in Oz and was diagnosed with prostate cancer in Sept. Oct had the works hauled out. You'll have a scar from the top of The Old Fella to your belly button. You don't want that getting too wet, nor too dry. It needs to heal nicely and not get an infection. The trick I learned when I had the catheter when taking a shower, remove the bag at the coupling coming out of the old fella. Ask the nurse to show you haw to do this, easy peasy, just hang it outside the shower and hook it back up when you are thru. You will have to do this when putting on a night bag at home anyways! Otherwise you'll be hanging onto the bag and trying to clean yourself at the same time. Or it will be hanging on the wall and getting all tangled when you try to turn around.
You'll be good mate. Bill
