Hello lovelies, just checking back in after my fabulous 3 week holiday in the Caribbean. I was a little nervous about how my bowel would behave just 3 months after my stoma reversal but I needn’t ha worried. I was very fortunate to have no problems at all, & the heat definitely helped the neuropathy (sadly it’s back again now!) I hope this post gives some encouragement to others undergoing tre
ment (see my profile for details.) I have scans booked in January but I’m putting that to one side for now...Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & a Happy & healthy New Year!
Hi Jersey Lily So glad you enjoyed your holiday your story is an inspiration I was told last week i need 6 months of chemotherapy starting in January followed by a reversal , it's hard at the moment to see the end ! but I can see you have been through this and come through
good luck with the scans in January
& wishing you and everybody else a Merry Christmas

It is daunting, but take one day at a time, one treatment at a time. Everyone is different & suffer side effects in different ways. Be kind to yourself. Get in touch anytime. Merry Christmas!
Hey Peacock62
I have only just seen your post. I’m sorry to hear that you face six months of chemotherapy in the new year. I was really hoping that you would have better luck. You are definitely overdue better health. I am looking forward to Christmas dinner with brussell sprouts this evening! Do look after yourself and keep in touch with us.
Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Sprouts didn’t make me any windier than before ileostomy! Bag puffed up which was funny!! I’ve now eaten a lot more of my normal diet. The booklet sent to me by Charter said no foods should be banne Highly unlikely to cause a blockage, so I’ve really been going for it!! I really hope you have a better 2020.
