Scheduled for surgery within next 4 weeks and expecting stoma after removal of rectum. Seeing stoma nurse tomorrow morning and wonder what to ask her?
Obvious questions are diet, recovery time, location on abdomen, travelling afterwards.
Usually find, during meetings with medical specialists, that by the end of the meeting all the questions I would have asked have been answered.
Hi Papjoe, as this was posted yesterday you have probably seen the Stoma Nurse by now. If so do you have any questions from seeing her or do you have all the info you need by now?
All the best, John
