I'm looking for suggestions for high calorie meal replacements for my mum with partial obstruction. Would really appreciate some advice.
Bit of background - my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian in March 2015. in the last two months she has had partial intestinal obstruction, and the avastin she was on doesn't seem to be working. She may be starting a different chemo soon, however at the moment she has been in and out of hospital

Healthy New Year (part 2) 💋
Well, where do I start?! I left you in 2015. I'd been sent home from hospital. I managed one night at home then had to go back via A&E. My stomach pains were worse still. I was admitted, whisked off, by an angel of a junior doctor who knew he'd be in trouble but couldn't get hold of a porter, for a CT

Sorry I've been AWOL
Did I let you know that my hubby has been diagnosed with bladder cancer? Anyway, that's been the reason for my absence, though I've still been reading the updates that come into my inbox. Its gone from me being the cared for and retiring to a ground floor adapted flat to me trying to look after him

I finally had post-surgery consultation!
Following on from my 1st laparoscopy in August, I had a post-op appt yesterday and I was told I need another surgery in the new year. I was shown the pictures of my inside and I felt really bad for thinking the surgeons didn't do a good job the 1st time as my tubes, ovaries and bowel look all tucked

Losing my rag
This is both a rant and a question, so I apologise in advance. I am 22 and have been diagnosed with endo for just over two years, suffered with it for three. First diagnostic lap was around this time two years ago, and they didn't remove anything claiming it was too risky. Cue zoladex, no HRT. Total

Absorption of thyroxine
I have an Ileostomy and am wondering if anyone has heard or read anything regarding poor absorption of thyroxine with a stoma. I don't know where in the gut Thyroxine is absorbed but I know that some drugs are absorbed in the colon and since I dont have one this can sometimes be a problem.

Bile leaking from PEG-J site causing severe burning to exterior skin around the site
Does anyone else have this issue? I had the PEG-J put in earlier this year and am feed solely through this with Nutrison concentrate. My stomach is severely damaged and the feed by-passes it to go directly into the jejunum. The site is oozing bile all day and night causing severe burning to the stoma

DO NOT abandon hope if you have an 'ostomy.
Ulerative Colitis @ 15y > Ileostomy @ 19y - now aged 73y. I was advised* that those who still had a rectal stump (& anus) have a much increased risk of CA. My stump was removed @ 29y - There was no medical follow up about this risk (maybe there is now). It is my hope that those with a rectal stump are

Sleep deprived...
Hi all, I'm new to this community but have been using it for advice for a while. I wanted to discuss pain relief and how people have made others take endometriosis seriously. June 2014 I was diagnosed with a cyst on my left ovary (5cm). I had a laparoscopy which confirmed I also had extensive active

Are they missing me?
Now I am in remission with no tumours what comes through the door but mammogram appointment and bowel cancer screening. Oncologist cheerfully says do the mammogram, - I could still get cancer there. Rang the hospital for the bowel to explain that I haven't got much bowel left after the surgery and hemicolectomy

Colostomy
Dont panic. There is a lot of info on the internet. Type in bladder and bowel foundation. Ring colostomy assoc. Having a stoma is no big deal. It may be temporary for three months to let the intestines heal and will be reversed. I have opted for an ileostomy for incontinence. It will at least give me

Colostomy surgery
I'm having surgery in 3 days, I'm so scared. My diagnosis is colovaginal fistula after a hysterectomy 20 years ago, and C sections prior to that. I'm having adheliosis, (lesions removed) from bladder vagina and colon. There are 2 surgeons both doing their bit. They have said there maybe a stoma in

Saddest day
I have never posted on here before but my darling sister has been fighting this horrendous disease for 2 years and has now come to the end of the road. I probably shouldn't fault the treatment she received but the length of time it took for her to get a diagnosis when she knew that there was a problem

Would love to hear from ladies diagnosed with advanced OC
I feel very alone as I've never met anyone with advanced OC. I am having a debulking radical hysterectomy on June 10th. My para-aortic lymph nodes are involved. I am a young and active (otherwise extremely healthy!) 57 year old and still can't believe I have this disease. The consultant hasn't staged

Happy Birthday Stoma
10 years ago today I awoke from surgery for a first recurrence to find that I had a stoma. I was very fearful for my future as I had been told that it was likely I would recur again. Plus, with the new plumbing arrangements, I wondered if I would ever be able to go out in polite company again without
