http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/theblackhole/index.html It covers Help & information on rectal polyp bowel cancer requiring an AP resection or AbdominoPerineal Resection (APR) or AbdominoPerineal Excision Resection (APER) that leaves you with a
colostomy
. Hope it helps someone somewhere.

Colostomy - The Truth
Further complications as a result of septicaemia (blood infection) - collapsed lung, intensive care, burst wound etc etc have resulted in a very scarred body and a
colostomy
bag.

Endo and me the next round
My main worry is now the fact I had to sign to consent a a laparotomy, a possibility of a
colostomy
bag and the possibility that my left ovary may have to be taken out. Some days I am completely okay with this and this is just another challenge and obstacle that life throws at you.

How long til a stoma settles into a pattern?
I had my
colostomy
, descending almost end of colon, on December 4th. It does not seem to have settled into a regular pattern of working.

Has anyone had a Colostomy bag after tumor resection?
It is interfering with bowel function so it is likely my colon will be damaged during the surgery leaving me at least temporarly with a
colostomy
bag and then a subsequent surgery to restore rectal function.

My Story
back together. they can't do that straight off, they need to let the intestine rest, recuperate, reconstruct some for a while. i was told it could only be a
colostomy
bag for two months, which would be 22 april.

feeling down and going round in circles
Lauren who is 5 had a
colostomy
bag as a baby and then had it reversed. She is in her 2nd year at school as is still not yet dry during the day/night. Lauren is waiting for some more surgery but in the mean time wets up to 20 times a day and school are starting to get fed up of changing her .

New tumour, another op? Very scared!
I am so nervous as there is a real risk of bowel damage and a
colostomy
. Bang goes my aquarobics, the one form of exercise I can still do.

Next Op to remove tumour - colostomy here I come!
Can't say I am looking forward to a
colostomy
but I hear of loads of people who have got used to it very quickly and it should not rule out the aquarobics! he real bad news this morning was the collision with another car as we entered the hospital grounds.
