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.

Am going to Mayo clinic top of the medical chain. But like the 2 other hospitals am being kept in the dark cannot get any information about general steps. I call it the Mushroom syndrome Was told Just plan for 5 to 7 days. Did find all out all they do the 1st days is ask 10 zillion more stupid questions and a blood test really that's all we can do in a day. I am not driving 6 hours to sit around and have 1 dinky test done a day. My feeling why can we not do as many as possible in a day. Hotels are not cheap
As far as a bag my work, riding horses, my question is how can I do this with a 5 pound bag of %^&* hanging on my waist. And I feel you have become he schounge of the earth people are not kind and avoid you like you have the plage. And then there is finding clothes Another road block Think it is just best to crawl in a hole & die. as the suggestion of hospital surgeon #2
