I know how you feel and what you are going through. You got this! You will walk through the fire and get to the other side. I think it is great news that the cancer didn't spread to your uterus. I will be praying for your quick recovery.

My daughter- in - law had to wear a bag for 3 months after having part of her large intestines and small intestine removed because of endometriosis. Her’s was so bad she also had a total hysterectomy, the surgery lasted from 11:30 am to 7:30 pm. She had already had an ovary removed, her Doctor specialized in her surgery and told my son her case was one of the worse top 2 cases he had seen. But she had her bowel reversal and it went well. I pray things go more smoothly for you. Hugs and prayers!🙏✝️❤️

  • @suzieq2268

    Ileostomy care is different for each person, and nobody knows your body better than you. Your body will adapt; however, if I may offer a couple suggestions to possibly help speed healing along safely: Stay hydrated as best as you can. An ileostomy typically results in malabsorption of fluids, nutrients, and medications. "Perative" nutritional supplement has micronutrients which absorb better than "Ensure." It's good to supplement even while eating regular foods. Medications with a coating don't absorb completely. To temporarily slow down output, injest three marshmallows about twenty minutes before changing the wafer/pouch. Lastly, a stoma creates a weakened area in the abdominal wall...try to avoid heavy work so that the stoma doesn't bulge and herniate. Leaks develop as your abdomen changes shape. Schedule an appointment with your wound/ostomy nurse to protect your delicate skin. They'll have wonderful solutions to help keep your skin/stoma healthy. Take care and God Bless🥰
