The NHS is just dire
So now, it’s progress to septicaemia, or get left with a
colostomy
, because I’m pretty sure this ovary is still infected!

Ileostomy questions
I don't even know if I would be getting an ileostomy or
colostomy
, the way the surgeon was speaking pointed to an ileostomy but I am still unsure. I have seen quite a few people on YouTube with ileostomy surgery recovery but not a lot about
colostomy
surgery.

Finally got somewhere although it took almost death!
So now they can’t do surgery until all risk of any residual infection has gone, or I will be left with a
colostomy
bag! The joys of the NHS and their stance on preventative medicine 🤣

Has anyone found a colostomy to be the solution to incontinence. I wondered if it made things more controllable ?
Should I abandon the proposed rectal prolapse surgery and have a
colostomy
?

Delicate??????
I have had five operations, and have ended up with a
colostomy
, and mesh for a hernia. All this because of slow motility, and lack of peristalsis in the digestive system.

Update: Avastin stopped. Gastroesophageal Reflux & Urticaria. Good Scan result.
I was hoping to approach a surgeon soon about the possible reversal of my
colostomy
/stoma. My original surgeon said a reversal could be considered 4 months after avastin stops, if an assessment shows that everything inside looks healthy enough.

27 Things You Understand Only If You Live with Chronic Pain
“The last surgeon that operated on me said if I ever need another surgery, I will need a

After Surgery Report - OC recurrence
It was a really rough time but good news, I didn't have to have a bag, ie: illeostomy or
colostomy
. Mass was attached to small intestine and so they cut out a small piece and reattached. Endometriosis and only one lymph taken out near mass. Healing is a lot slower than the first surgery.

Dysphagia
We enter new territory. Since Ian's total colectomy 3 weeks ago, he has been having real problems swallowing, and chokes on water etc. I am about to collect some thickener from the farmacia. He has little appetite and his speech has pretty much disappeared, all in a short space of time. We are home

Colostomy due to Ovarian Cancer
Has anyone had to get an ostomy because of a tumor? If so how long did you have it? Was it permanent or reversed? Are you done with treatment?

Heartbroken
My husband is scheduled for a
Colostomy
on 5-08-2020. He said he is scared, I am crying because my husband is not scared of anything. He went through Chemo and Radiation treatments at the same time in 2014. He been in remission for five years but his cancer left a terrible wound that won't heal.
