Chemobrain strikes again!!
Thanks to this lot making me sleepy and confused constantly over the fortnight instead of just while im connected to the pump and the couple of days after, my organisation over prescriptions and orders has fell behind. Therefore i have ran out of removal spray for my bag, and my prescription wont arrive for a week! (anyone else pee'd off that you need to phone a company to get in touch with your dr to get your prescription to get them to deliver it?! Why cant you just pick it up from the chemist when you need it?!)
Anyway, i started to ramble n get distracted there.
I have had to soak it with lots of water etc to try n remove bag, but my skin is v sore as its sensitive so i really do need the adhesive removal spray or the next best thing. So the point of this is to ask if anyone knows of anything i can use in its place that works better than the water thing or knows if i can buy the equivalent in a chemist or shop? With the chemo my stoma is VERY active currently so changing my bag at least double the amount of times i usually would - which probably has had a hand in me not ordering in time!
Any hints or tips anyone knows could be very useful for me in the upcoming week!
I have an appointment with my oncologist today, but the last few times it has been his nurse who has seen me, so i am going to be cheeky and ask if they carry any removal spray and if i could get one - you dont ask you dont get, right?
However the thought occurs to me that this could be something that i or someone else encounters in the future so a thread on it, providing alternatives and tips for such things might be useful to us all.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and/or contribute to this discussion.
Most of all i wish you well in your own battles - love and positive vibes coming your way!
