After having a 'no visible cancer'  chat with oncologist, I was so happy, went for my next appointment with the surgeon, no worries at all there! He asked if I was getting any discharge or pain and I happily replied ' no'! Now, 2days later, I'm getting a thin, brown discharge and a bit of discomfort Is this me going nuts or is it normal?

Regards, Moira x

  • there's no normal-  but speak with your stoma  nurse.

  • this is to everyone with a stoma. My Stoma supply company sent me a small blue bag which contain everything you need if when you're out you need to change your bag. It's small, discrete and very portable.

  • Hi Artsie,

    things have settled down at last, apparently it's normal to get this discharge, whatever normal is these days! I'm resigned I think to being either loose or constipated too, the stoma nurse says it's all down to diet, which I believe is true but finding the right food to suit me is a flaming problem!

  • I’m really pleased you are better. I’ve come to the conclusion eat what you fancy off your normal range. Whoops plays up when she feels like it. Remember two dry crackers for supper. That might help. X
