Hello all

Hi everyone, recently diagnosed with bowel cancer and op scheduled which will result in a temporary or permanent stoma. 

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who contributes on the forum, I have been lurking  since my colonoscopy and I am very grateful for all the information and positivity shared on here, it's so helpful, thank you :)

I am anxious of course, but hope I will be able to contribute in a positive way too when I get my head around everything. 

 

  • Hi there ...

    Well this is a great place to come .. lots of people just read threads ... not everyone answers .. but think it helps far more then we realise .. 

    So so sorry, you've had to join our little club...  here's hoping your op goes well .. and lots live with a stoma ... my brother in law has had one for the last couple of years ... it had a few hic cups at first but settled down ...

    So welcome to our little club no one wants to join, but are glad it's here ... 

    Chrissie xx

  • Thank you Chrissie for the reply, it's very much appreciated. Good to hear your brother is doing well. xxx
