Hi, just joined this forum :-)
I have a pelvic sarcoma and had an appointment with my surgeon today. He has unfortunately said that as part of the surgery to remove the sarcoma that it is highly likely that I will need a urostomy AND colostomy. This is obviously quite a shock and my head is spinning.
Anyone here had similar and able to offer their thoughts on what its like to live with both? Equal any links to blogs etc that would give me more info would also be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance, P
That could be an excellent option, Phil. Help on hand if you need it but still some independence while you start your recovery. Being fit, and your age, also stands you in good stead for major surgery-it all helps.
