I think you need to go to a cancer specialist and get a second opinion. I had stage 3 colon cancer nearly 3 years ago and my sigmoid colon was removed. I’ve since used two hospitals one was useless one was excellent. I too wear a bag but you do get used to it. It is saving your life. In my experience it is all down to the hospital and the staff. Best of luck and may you find the help you deserve.
