Update on my journey
I was told before my surgery there was a chance of hysterectomy or a
colostomy
bag and possibly a large cut. My opp went really well and I managed to get away with a bowel shave and removal of Endo through keyhole. I was obviously so pleased by this.

Help for rectum mucus
I have a lot of mucus from rectum and it is making my life miserable many times a day I run to bathroom with the strong urge to poop like old days before the
colostomy
. No blood or color just clear watery like mucus. I have tried enemas.

Final diagnosis
ladies, So i got my final diagnosis today, it turns out I have it on the bowel rectum and bladder and it’s sticking my organs together, my doctor suggested I tried the marina coil before we take the operation route, as she said the operation will be very tricky and I could be left with a permanent

Finally ended up w/ 9” of my colon removed.
The surgeon wanted to rid my colon of any infection so that when he performed the surgery on Monday I wouldn’t have the worry of wearing a
colostomy
bag for 6 months.

Disturbing CT scan
And they just found a fistulous tract and installed a subpubic catheter, a
colostomy
and a stint in his kidney. There's evidence of new cancer in the bladder and that tube to his kidney.... Plus a lesion on his liver, still waiting on biopsy. Y'all... I'm scared!

Omentum and surgery
They said removing the affected areas would result in a
colostomy
bag and would endanger her life as the surgey would be so radical. They removed her ovaries and Fallopian tubes but neither had any evidence of cancer.

A short rant against pee in the pants
Nine months into this horrible journey of advanced prostate cancer caused by Agent Orange, seemingly endless surgeries, complete urinary incontinence, a temporary
colostomy
, absolute desexualization, humiliation and embarrassment and I have finally realized there are no quick solutions, no easy answers

Feeling relieved - the opp went well
I was told there was possibility of open bowel surgery/
colostomy
bag and a big cut. I was down for 3 hours. But they did amazing. They said my endo was worse than they thought and a lot of it was hidden so they had to move few organs.

Feeling nervous first opp on Friday. Any tips to get me through?
There is a chance I may have a
colostomy

Endo and Major Surgery
I had very little to go on, I was scared, I just thought I could have a
colostomy
, a blood transfusion, amounts of numerous other issues. I then received a phone call two days later offering me the Operation in two days and I had to make the decision there and then.
