    Hi, Hope all is well after the op. I had a similar diagnosis three years ago, low grade tumour and had urachus removal and partial cyctectomy. I understand that this a a fairly rare diagnosis. All went well with my op except for the two weeks with a catheter which was very uncomfortable. I have a yearly check up with blood tests and a CT scan, I am fine with no re-occurance or re-growth. I have a normal life with no complications or discomfort from the problem. I am told that if the next  tests ( 2020 ) are clear I will not have to undergo any furthe testing. Keep positive and you should be fine. All the best for the future.
