Ron’s Story
I was diagnosed in 2010 and in October that year (5 days after my 61st birthday), I had the
radical cystectomy and Neobladder surgery.
I was able to surf again 3 months later, primarily due to great advice from my doctors,
nutritionist and the love, support and prayers from my family and friends. Prior, during
and after the surgery, I diligently followed instructions from my doctors and health care
specialist. Again, the support of family and friends assisted in my recovery.
Upon reflection, it wasn’t easy, but it was well worth everything I went through. I thank
God every day for this miracle of being able to have a Neobladder. I am grateful to all
the doctors, nurses and hospital personnel who assisted me during my surgery/post-surgery
time at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center.
It has been over 2 years now and I have been able to work, travel frequently, and live an active
lifestyle that enabled me to surf over 100 times last year.
