Stoma
Have any of you got gastrointestinal issues and had it suggested that you would find it easier with a colostomy bag. If you have or have done the op I would really appreciate your thoughts and experience. Thanks in advance

Beyond exhausted
I am the main carer i.e. the buck stops here, for my 90 yr old mum. I should say now that I love her dearly because what I am about to write might make you think otherwise. Since my dad died 11 years ago I have moved from support for my mum to main carer. In Jan 2018 she had a stroke and at the same

Ostomy to 5K - Day 1 Down!
I had two surgeries over the past year-and-a-half to give me a permanent ileostomy, which without a doubt has given me my life back - and now, after 10+ years of illness, I have to figure out what to actually do with that life! I have always hated running, mostly because when you have no stamina or muscles

Bowel endometriosis

Consultant recommending straight to ivf
Just been to see my consultant who is recommending that once I am fully healed we go straight to ivf as it is too risky for us to try naturally. Needless to say I am all over the shop with my emotions. Just wondering if anyone else has been told this as well? Feeling alone at the moment. Husband is very

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging
I saw a different consultant today. He was happy with my 17kg weight loss since 13th December. Some of this was enforced but more on that later. He didnt appear to be convinced totally that I have cirrhosis, which I am sure all those diagnosed would be ecstatic to hear. Yes my last fibroscan indicated

Son has ace but is badly constipated
Hiya, my son had the ace fitted Sept 2018 and his micky button was fitted Jan 19. He is currently in bed with bad constipation, his washout on Thursday was just water and just water Friday. He is just passing overflow into his pull up and last night it was up his back and I had to change his bed sheet

Cindy's Dance with Death
I was in a coma, due to peritonitis and sepsis 3x, for 35 days and on life support in ICU. My children were told to make funeral arrangements for me. I died and was revived twice. When they removed my ventilator, I regained consciousness. After a total hospital stay of 7 months and 4 surgeries

Histology Report
Well my histology report has come back indicating that the prime site for my mucinous cancer is the small intestine. It then spread to my left ovary which appeared to be the primary site on the CT scans? Obviously it wasn't. I am now being transferred from my breast/gyni oncologist to a bowel cancer

3 month check
Just had my 3 month check - 15 months post chemo. I have been very worried as I have constant stoma blockages and bloating. I’m currently awaiting a colonoscopy in the hope of stoma reversal. I was so worried it was my cancer back but my ca 125 has held steady at 11. It was 1261 on diagnosis. So relieved

Thriving!
From early October to last week - what a difference eh?! Matthew is thriving now that he has his stoma and he's piling on weight. He's now 7lbs 4oz - still miles behind his chunky brother who weighs a few pounds over a stone but he's getting there. I don't wish his journey on any of your babies but if

Colorectal surgeon
I have severe endometriosis and am under a specialist team, wondering can the bowel surgeon take charge of the whole process? He's really pushing me to have a hysterectomy saying he can't reverse my stoma without removing everything basically. I'm 32 and don't want to go through all that anytime soon

Hi lovelies, Hope you’re all okay? Just a quick question can you get Orlaparib if platinum resistant and BRCA negative? Also how do you get on with a stoma bag if you have one? Xxx

Scar tissue and adhesions????
I have problems at the moment with my stoma which is continually backing up and blocking causing me digestive issues. I have seen the colorectal consultant and am due to have a colonoscopy in 10 days. My stomach is bloated and I feel nauseous a lot of the time. I have had a gastographin test and it

Things have turned a corner!
I'm very pleased to say that after a month in hospital which included Christmas Day, Matthew was discharged on the 28th December. He still has his stoma which we are managing at home and he weighs an almighty 5lbs 7oz which is huge for him! He just made it out of the teeny tiny clothes! He should have
