I had bladder cancer at the age of 24. I recently have been having problem having bowel movements and when I do, they are very thin and short in length. I just had a cat scan performed and it was determined that my bladder wall is thickening. a few weeks ago, my urine was a dark color and also had a foul smell to it, although this has cleared. the cat scan also showed no tumors or growths anywhere...just some constipation . I do have a cysto scheduled ( I have had many in the past but not for about 5-7 years ) and I was just wondering with my previous history, should I have my bladder removed? I also normally wake once during the night to pass urine and on occasion have some incontinence.
