I never knew about the tissue connecting the belly button. It's certainly not serious like having having belly button cancer, but maybe that explains why my belly button pretty much went away after my cystectomy. Since it was no longer attached to the top of the bladder, it pretty much went flat. A part of my scar looks more like a belly button than my real belly button now.

Hi Geoff,

I think I have seen your posts on other sites (Old Dipex for one)and possibly exchanged emails in the past. I find this site invaluable.

Hope you are well. Unfortunately I now have breast cancer and am undergoing chemotherapy. Isn't life a b****?!

Hi Holly

I am in England, was diagnosed with Urachal cancer in September 2007. I was treated with FOLFOX (February to May 2008) and so far am doing well with no active cancer at present.
