Never give up hope
A couple of years ago we as parents were devastated. We never knew the devastation endometriosis could cause. Albeit our daughter developed a 6cm endo tumour on her bowel and test for diagnosis perforated her bowel making matters worse causing sepsis. She was told by the surgeons they had never seen

In focus: stomas - stoma surgery
Hello In our previous post in this series, we gave an overview of what a stoma is and the different types of stoma. In this post, we’ll look at the surgery to create a stoma and what happens before and after it. As many of you will have experienced, it’s difficult for surgeons to know exactly what

Have all the symptoms of IBS but is it something else?
I have had what I would call a successful ileostomy since 1968 which cured 4 years of misery with ulcerative colitis. I could eat everything, just not ridiculous amounts of hard to-digest-fruits and veggies which have cause several painful blockages over the years (scar tissue or gluttony?) At ER I

Advice
Hello, I am new here, I am just looking for some advice? From as far back as I can remember I haven’t felt okay, as I got older I realised it was something with my mental health. I went to the dr about it once when I was around 19 and was given anti depressants. I never took these because a person

Still getting symptoms after 6 infusions of Chemo; abdominal pain and groin pain swollen stoma, anyone possibly shed some light on this?
Hello ladies, I hope many of you managed to enjoy a lovely Christmas. Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2020 is a kind year. During chemo I had the usual shooting pains, abdominal pains etc that came and went - pains that became quite normal but that would only last a day or so and intermittently

Hi everyone, I am new here. My father (50 years old) has been recently diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer.

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.
