Living with long-term bowel side effects post anal cancer treatment

The daily maintenance for a colostomy is significant. I only had a colostomy for 90 days but watched my step-father deal daily with his for 30 years. Colostomy would not be my first choice if I could deal with incontinence with nutrition, food intake schedule, over the counter medications, pelvic floor exercises and planning, and when all else fails an occasion Depends

I have a colostomy and would 100% rather deal with it rather than incontinence! This is
definitely a personal preference situation. Though I can reasonably guess none of us would choose any of these issues!
