Welcome @ally56 and @cinnie.
Cinnie, great to hear that the ileostomy didn't stop your dad from traveling. What, if any precautions, did he have to consider when planning multi-day trips or out of country trips?

Ally, we look forward to getting to know more about you. If you're comfortable sharing, how long have you been living with the colostomy and ileal conduit?

You asked about traveling- he carried supplies with him on trips. Extra bags and the clean up products fit easily in the small case he used for razor, shaving cream, etc. one time he forgot to bring supplies. We were able to find what he needed at a local drug store. So no bad experience traveling, as long as he was organized.
