Re running following illness
Starting again after being diagnosed with rectal cancer and undergoing a
colostomy
operation in May. I was feeling pretty down for a while, thought useful life was practically over but since starting running again I’m feeling much better (about everything!!!).

grade 4 endo pouch of Douglas
I’m really worried about having a
colostomy
bag as I know this is a risk due to the severity and rectal involvement. has anyone else experienced severe endo in this area and received surgery without
colostomy
?

Colostomy
My surgery told me there’s a 50/50 chance I will need
colostomy
( tumor pressing on my rectum). Am having a very difficult time processing and accepting the idea of
colostomy
for life. Would you kindly share your experiences with me? What is life like with a
colostomy
bag?

Confused and need advise
After the surgery I was told if I had left it any longer I would of had to a
colostomy
bag, as the endo was attached in and out side of my womb. Had amazing recovery and have felt the best, however, 18 months post op, everything has gone backwards. I thought relief would of been longer.

ongoing chronic constipation.. ‘opioid bowel & interstitial cystitis… test results!
Worst case scenario is a
colostomy
or at very worst a illeostomy to be carried out… anything to be free of this almost constant gut ache and needing to ‘go’ constantly ( still can only manage with suppositories, enemas and a ton of movivol plus douches several times daily .)

Between treatment pain
I was told that I was at high risk of ending up with a
colostomy
bag if I went for surgery, so they pushed for ‘medical management’. My first gynae had already put me on Cerelle (progesterone only contraceptive 75mg) and the gynae surgeon said I could stay on this or switch to dienogest.

Just saying hello as a new member
This resulted in an emergency surgery that left me with a huge zipper scar down my middle, a
colostomy
and a mountain of bills. Thankfully I am a candidate for reconnection surgery once things are completely healed from the tumor removal.

He refuses to get a
colostomy
, and doesn't want infusion chemo. Now, I respect that because even the doctors said chemo and the surgery might kill him. But here's the thing: rectal cancer can get very messy with fecal incontinence. We don't have running water.

What to expect with mets and no treatment
Questions I have are about if anyone gets stuck with required daily catheter use, diapers,
colostomy
bag (colon spread), loss of mobility for spinal issues, loss of energy to get out of bed, the average length of time (maximum?)-on a morphine drip until expiration, etc.

I usually have to explain the difference between an ileostomy and a
colostomy
and more. We discussed the pros and cons of me going inactive on the list. Since starting Mounjaro 8 months ago my eGFR has been creeping higher.

Doctor trying to scare me out of getting a laparoscopy
I then also felt as if she was trying to deter me from the surgery by saying I may need a
colostomy
bag put in place in the surgery or if I find out I have endo during the surgery then I may have life long consequences and pain.
