Had Bladder Cancer, Having Bowel Movements Problem, Dark Urine. Should I Have My Bladder Removed?

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.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Just take it easy, your symptoms are not indication for any surgical procedure not even removing of bladder, if you have such malignant etiology then this type of out come is most likely but it does not cause any dangerous to your health, you need to adopt such episodes if ever happened instead of thinking weird , have nice day.
