I would love to help you as I wore a pouch for over two years. What are you wearing a pouch for? Colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy?

I'm still in chemo with the VA in Madison, WI, with infusion #6 scheduled for January 17.

Yesterday (Jan 5) they did a new PET radiation scan at the nearby U of W research center.

In discussions with the VA docs, my options will likely be with urostomy vs radiation.

In the meantime, I'm doing my best to learn all I can about both options, and recovery procedures.

I have a gut feeling that a decision will be made, or recommended, soon after the January 17 Chemo #6 infusion.
