An Ostomy Saved My Life - Jen, Stage IIIa Colon Cancer Survivor
It’s common not to want an ostomy at first - just ask Kristi. But she will also be the first to tell you how happy she is now living cancer-free with one.
Ostomies are life-savers: ccalliance.org/ostomy
An ostomy is a surgically created opening in your abdomen that allows waste or urine to leave your body from that stoma instead of your rectum and anus. Think of your ostomy’s function as you did your natural bowel movements. You still have the same bowel; it just might be redirected. Call our free Helpline with any more questions: (877) 422-2030

Good on you, you are fortunate to look forward to a “relatively” normal life. You have my sympathy. I have had a cystoma for 5 months and for the 1st 3 months I also I had a nephrostoma. I have stage 4 metastasised prostrate cancer. Good luck with your life going forward only we can understand what we have to go through.
My Ostomy saved my life. There is no reason to feel ashamed. You’re Ostomy either saved your life, or life is significantly more manageable.
Similiar story here, I was diagnosed with stage two colon cancer in August. My ileostomy will probably be permanent as I have crohns as well. Thanks for sharing and being so positive!
So happy for you. God bless you. You're beautiful.
