Hi there.
If you have any questions regarding your stoma or products pop them up. I had loads of brilliant advice here. or you can pop things in the magnifying glass and older posts are available

Have you named your stoma? Some do I started a thread over a year ago….. What’s your stoma called and why?
There’s some really funny names there.
Take care

Mine was Whoopi or Whoopsadaisy or after beans Whoopee Cushion.

Hi Trucky G I S T and welcome to the group.
I love your stoma name! I have two stomas, a permanent colostomy and a urostomy- named Boris and Donald after a certain couple of politicians who were active at the time of my surgery.
Artsie kindly made me my avatar picture.
Feel free to ask anything in the group, we’re not shy here, and will be happy to help out with any questions or advice based on our experiences. You’re not long out of surgery but it sounds like you’ve got just the right attitude to cope with this.

Guess the wait is over .....Christie 7th for bloods a 1hr wait then results with consultant.like a 1hr photo shop of back in the day that will do me....
Brilliant that’s what I like too. Just enough time for a coffee before you can pop back and see what they have to say.

Seems i am no dead yet... imatinib is likely my first treatment unfortunate side effects are not tripping balls like a 90s rave and not growing a 24inch knob or having a great time but it means i will have sometime to read a big book. how do go to a page for a laugh or make a nice one for just chuckling i dislike saddness what is the point omg?Am an internet idiot though....
So what’s your treatment plan?
Trying to stay positive is my way however I’ve had some info that I need to process. I’m taking time to do just that.
Maybe if you ask others here that have had the same they can give you their personal experience

Loaf about 3 weeks then a scan then straight on imatinib if my heart condition allows it for upto 3 yrs until my mutation kicks in..then the wheel spins...
