The following is part of a reply I sent to a friend on here after she kindly messaged me to see how I was. So I have put my reply here(and added bits in where necessary) so you all know why I have not been around. I have been doing a few replies tonight and I will try and do a few more before I sign

liners
I have been talking to a gentleman in Canada who sells liners for ostomates, they are used inside the pouch, apparently are easy to use and reduce smell and also they are thrown away so the stoma is not emptied, the liner is removed and flushed away, they mean in the US that pouches last much longer,

My life with an ileostomy from the start
I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2002. It progressed quite quickly and by December 2005 I was virtually housebound because of incontinence. In March 2096 I haemorrhaged and was admitted to hospital. I was given high dose steroids for three weeks in an attempt to get the UC under control but

Awaiting endometrial ablation and excision of endo surgery has anyone else found this to have helped?
Hello, I saw my consultant yesterday and discussed further surgery options, seems I don't have many options as my bowel and uterus are stuck together so can't have the hysterectomy I'd hoped for. I'm now awaiting to have endometrial ablation and removal of adhesions on ureters along with endo removal

Has anbody else lost most of their small instestine to ovarian cancer
I have 3.3 ovarian cancer and I am in remission (yay, after a year of chemo). As part of the surguries I have lost most of my small instestine. I have experienced two serious bowel obstuctions but I cannot be operated on any more. I have to eat very low fibre, low residue food and very small amounts

Dear daughter's results from op
Good morning lovely ladies, Dd had her op on November 9th and we went up to the RM yesterday for the results of the biopsies that were taken and to find out exactly what was done at the op. A fairly big (no dimensions given) endometriosis cyst was removed and found to be full of old blood when opened

The Stomach that got away
In October/November 2011 I was diagnosed with Barrett's Oesophagus which, shortly after, changed to confirmation that there was a cancerous cell present within my oesophagus. Following an attempt to get rid of the lump endescopically, it was decided that a course of chemotherapy would be required

From QPR to patient compliance and a bowel transplant!
Wednesday, 7 November 2012 It was never a sending off, I mean not even the home fans around me called for it and then there was the goal. Don't get me started on the goal. I mean not only was he offside once but actually twice - the referee is a w...........onderful guy the QPR fans chanted or something

My ICU story and after.....
On the morning of 17th July 2007 I was particularly happy. Summer Term had just ended so I had 6 weeks of holiday from my Teaching Assistant job ahead, my husband was coming back from a 3 week research visit to Australia on Friday and my first grandchild was due in August. Life seemed very good – I was

Just another manic Monday
And here comes another week! Trying very hard to stay cheerful, although the knowledge that in only 16 days, my boyfriend will be under general anaesthetic having a major bowel op is keeping me in a constant state of panic. His surgeon is supposed to be one of the best and most careful that there is

Despair
Sorry all! just a bad time! I don't normally 'do' despair! And why now? Cancer in remission! Sciatica tolerable! Pain relief possible! Why , oh why , do I feel like shit and can't talk about it! I am 72! I could never have expected a sex life at my age! So the stoma should not be a problem, after all
