Hi I am writing to see if someone can help me understand something? When I was about 29 years of age I had to have colon surgery for the removal of almost all of my intestine. The doctor said that they only left me enough to keep from having to have a colostomy. I was told that I would have to take B

Grandma of many
Hi everyone, my name is Brenda. I am 61 years old, and I was diagnosed one year ago. I had a lobectomy and a wedge resection as my treatment. At the time of my surgery, they removed 15 lymph nodes, and they were all cancer free, so hopefully everything was caught early and no more problems. I get scanned

Colostomy since birth
Hi all, New to this site. Sharing My story. Born with cloacal extrophy in 1968. Colostomy @ 2 hours old and illeal conduit at age 2. I usually get along just fine with ostomies. No social problems, and never held back by them, just rerouted plumbing to me. I know nothing different. My biggest difficulties

Worried and feeling sad
Hello, My husband was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma in early 2012 and had a lobectomy in the April of that year. The disease was detected early and despite our requests, he did not have adjuvant chemotherapy. Our annual appointment with his surgeon were always really positive and they actually stated

First of all, my Intro/condition/current status
Hi all, I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia in 2005, but because my B12 level was "high" (according to the doc) back in 2012 or sometime around then, they removed the 3 monthly injections from my treatment plan. Ever since, my health has been on a gradual decline but we've never attributed it

Operation.. Hysterectomy.. Bowel..
Hello Ladies, I've got my appointment for my surgery at Hull hospital, Castle Hill hospital. 16th August I'm a bit apprehensive it's either full hysterectomy or partial.
