Stoma worries
Hi all, Wondered if anyone could provide any reassurance? I am due to have my second lap on Friday to excise my recto vaginal endo. I’ve had a MRI and sigmoidoscopy and been told it hasn’t perforated my bowel and colorectal surgeon told me (quite dismissively) that I definitely won’t need a stoma as

NHS winter pressures!
Had CT scan from top to toe on 27th December with follow up appt. at end of January which seemed ages since I first saw consultant and now outpatient appts.have been rescheduled for end of February.I don’t think problems are a recurrence of the cancer for the sixth time,more likely adhesions or strictures

Battle lost
Christmas Day 2015 my husband complained of food and then drink getting ‘stuck’ After a visit to doctor and sent for endoscopy, biopsy, he was diagnosed with oesphogasus cancer. After 8 rounds of chemo had Ivor Lewis op with a view to a cure. The op didn’t go according to plan, complications and 4 ops

Living with bowel endo!
I just wanted to find out how others deal with the day to day management of bowel endo. I have stage 4 endo which affects my sigmoid colon. I have had a sigmoidoscopy and biopsy done which confirm this (and thankfully rules out any other causes) and two laparoscopies one in 2014 and one in October this

I might be heading for a bowel resection for endometriosis. Has anyone else had one? How was it?
I am quite scared of waking up with a stoma and hopefully won't be permanent as they have warned I may need one. It could only be for 3 months. I have 2 large nodules on bowel one is 5cm. Trying not to lose the plot as I also want to have a baby through ivf and I'm nearly 39. How long do I wait to try

Debulking surgery
I had my debulking surgery 2 weeks ago today. Initially I did very well after the long op and also had acbowel resection at the same time in preparation for a stoma reversal. I am having real problems eating as I feel constantly full. Did anyone else have this problem and when did it start to resolve

Sleeping position
I’m curious to know if any of my fellow ostomates manage to sleep on their sides? If so, any top tips? I generally struggle with leakage due to a retracted Stoma & pancreatic insufficiency which means o find it difficult to break food down when I digest it. I manage this with convex rings & Sensure Mio

Stoma bag
Had my operation, to remove my cancer, about a month ago, it went really well, had my stoma bag fitted, and can be reversed in about three months time, anybody worrying about having a bag fitted you will be fine,, they are small and fits under your clothes easy, there are different bags you can get,

Looking for Help!
I’m not sure where to post this information, but thought that I would start here to try and gain a better understanding of what is happening to me and to seek answers and, hopefully, advice and help, to some troublesome problems.
