  • Hi Glitter,

    I hope you are okay.

    I have had my stomas for about 4 or 5 years. I am use to them but they are a constant reminder of what I have been through. Plus the obstructions caused by the scar tissue is frightening, as the pain is excruciating. My fistula leaks constantly again this causes me some concern due to change of colour of the discharge. 

    I have been discharged from the cancer hospital (yay and thank you) and GPs hear two stomas or a fistula and they tell me it isn't their area of expertise! While it is great to be discharged from the cancer hospital, I feel scared being on my own.

    At least my CT scan came back showing scar tissue and nothing ominous and my blood tests were very good.

    Take care,

    Lisa

    Hello Lisa...you've been through so much I can only try to emagine what your going through..sometimes Google is a bad thing to do but I've had a lot of information I'm trying out..like scars..i found on utube  videos on how to manipulate and stretch where scaring is..

    I havent had my results yet from my bowel CT scan and I'm hoping no news is good news before my appointment 

    Stay safe X

  • Hi Glitter,

    Fingers crossed for your results and please let us know how you get on. 

    I was admitted last weekend with a bowel obstruction and I had blood tests, x-ray and a CT scan. I was told my blood were very good and the CT scan showed scar tissue. I asked if there was anything ominous? And I was told no. Which I am pleased about but I worry constantly.

    Thinking about you and fingers crossed. 

    Sending you love and good vibes,

    Lisa
