High grade prostate cancer: Large Tumor, High Gleason (9), Low PSA. What next?
Hi everyone, I am new here. My father (50 years old) has been recently diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer. The diagnosis came as a shock to us but we are trying to approach it head-on and gather as much information as possible. We are researching to decide on the best treatment moving forward

Skin care
I have had my stoma for 5 weeks now and it's settled down nicely. I'm changing my colostomy bag twice a day and am finding that the skin on my tummy where the adhesive flanges stick is becoming sore and red with some signs of a rash starting. Applying cream seems to affect the 'stickiness' of the bag

Stoma hasn’t worked for over 12 hours no pain
Hi, just wondering if anybody has had a stoma that hasn’t worked for more than 12 hours, no stomach pain or vomiting? My ileostomy has been very quiet and I’ve been drinking and eating normally, Thanks 😊

Day 2 - Post Surgery
Well that was an ordeal! You never know what your body has been through until you’ve heard from your appointed family member afterwards; oh and of course the pain but when you’re a bit delirious on pain relief that’s kind of unclear. 7 hours on the operating table and I’m still here; my poor mamo must

Newby with dietary questions
Hi, my colostomy and stoma is now 3 weeks old following an emergency procedure. Everything's fine so far and my diet is returning to normal. Having said that I find a lot of the advice online contradictory. I understand the no sweetcorn, nuts, peas rules ok but I love salads and really want to reintroduce

Bowel resection on Monday
Hi everyone, I have stage 4 recto vaginal endo and have been struggling for years. I had my first lap last December to remove a 4cm cyst from the left ovary. The surgeon found endo on my appendix and my ulterior wall. I have now been booked in for a bowel resection + removal of the endo within my gynae

Stoma
Hi there everyone. I’m having my op tomorrow for my first recurrence of OC. There is a possibility of me having a stoma, hopefully temporary. Have any of you had this? What can I expect? I’m so scared but trying to be ultra positive to family and friends.

Constipation and antidepressants
Hi, Can anyone tell me of any anti depressants which do not have constipation as a side effect. I have been constipated since birth. Many medical reasons, and I take strong medication every day to make my bowels work. I’m in a bad place mentally at the moment for lots of external reasons, but the antidepressants

Louder tinnitus with headache?
I just wondered if any other tinnitus sufferer found their tinnitus increased whenever they had a headache or migraine. Mine seems to ramp up - even before I've taken medication (paracetamol, neurofen or a special migraine 'cure' named Maxalt Melt - which really works). After 16 years I'm pretty accepting

Severe incontinence
I was wondering if anyone had been offered stoma surgery for their severe Diarrhea. I can’t go out anymore due to the problems, the last 3 years of my life have been mostly stuck inside and I’m only 23. I am on the toilet up to 20 times a day and can never leave the house due to the urgency. I’ve had

Post surgery .........update
Well 28 months after my initial diagnosis, 26 months after my stoma creation for a bowel perforation and 2 years since my tah , I had surgery to reverse my stoma as it was constantly blocking due to a hernia. I’ve had 6 days in hospital after the surgery and I can’t say it was pleasant. I thought this

Rectovaginal and rectal endometriosis having hysterectomy in 8 days. They said I may wake with a colostomy bag??

Had my tubes from kidney to bladder ( forget their name) moved as they had endometriosis on/around them. My uterus was noted as ‘bulky

Laproscopy for endo and possible stoma
Hey ladies, so I've been in a lot of pain and discomfort for a year or so. Finally had ultrasounds then had an mri which has found endo on/in my bowel. I've got surgery on Monday and been told to be warned I could end up with a colostomy bag if they find more than 3cm worth of endo in my bowel. I was

Stoma Bag and stage 4
Just had my results from mri and been told I need my bowel to be corrected as it moved to the right side of my body and that it can potentially start to leak through my liver. So will need to have one small op for the cyst in the ovary and uterus. Then get a stoma bag fitted in till my bowel is corrected
