My colostomy has given me back my life! I was miserable before. All my time was spent looking for a bathroom or being in one. I suffered horribly from fecal incontinence due to radiation treatment for anal cancer. I am extremely grateful that the option of having a colostomy even exists!

Rioa, i’m so happy to hear this. I have Colitis. I am electing to have my colon removed because I can’t do the cleanup anymore. I have frequent and urgent incontinence. I’m almost 70 and have tried biologics which were horrible. My appointment to even see the surgeon is not until November. I’m from Canada and we have long waitlists and limited doctors. It’s a big decision so your post is good news. I’m wondering if you have a pouch or a J pouch and if you have leak issues? Or skin issues? All the best to you!
