Questions about managing a Stoma Pouch

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.

Gordy, How are you doing? Any new news? Will they still make a decision after the 17th?

The VA hospital will give you clear instructions on the application and care of a urostomy before you are discharged. I you still have questions after that please write to us again. We are always here to help!
