Bladder Cancer

Hi Anyastar . Nice to hear from you again and good to know you have been doing well although you've come across this new concern. I can't help but I am sure someone here can. I hope it turns out to be nothing too serious. Best wishes.

Glad to hear it all worked out for you great that you have come back to share the news later down the line. 

Can't help re the stoma question but sure someone will be along to help soon. Have you you tried the doctors or do you have a district nurse still to ask? 

Yes ocassionally. My stoma nurse said not to worry about small spots of blood on/ around the stoma it’s normal and evidence of good supply. 
Be interested to hear experience from other contributors though.

Thank You Rily ,

I hope you are keeping well , Yes unfortunately, It might clear  up on Its on! I have been over doing it lately My Stoma Nurse is sending me some powder to use when Changing my Stoma bag who knows it might help 

Thank You Simon

I'm not sure of your Story but hope all is well with you 

Yes I know I should keep in touch more, I'm not the best at putting my words down Yes I Visited my Doctor she had not got a clue she looked to find another Doctor and he was missing lol Doctors aren't the same as they used to be , My Stoma Nurses are great thing is they will soon be on leave for Christmas,

That’s good blood supply 

That good to here ,Thank You for replying

But first time in over 2 years no Blood so it was a shock when I seen it, I'm Hoping someone will tell me it does clear up eventually,

Are you able to contact the stoma nurse you saw after the operation? When I first saw blood I phoned her and she made me an appointment for the stoma clinic at the local hospital  (fortunately only 2 miles from home). Did a bag change and examination at the clinic where she said small amounts spots of blood when cleaning the stoma were nothing to worry about and a sign of good blood supply. Larger amounts or blood in the bag would need to be checked out though.

I’m coming up to 2 years in January and still occasionally see spots of blood when changing particularly if I’ve been very active. I now wear braces, no belts or elasticated waistbands which can cause chafing.

Not much blood only round the edge of Stoma but still a shock to see it!

Talking to my Stoma Nurse on the Phone, I have been doing quite a lot over the last week and a half  2 Christmas Diners  A Birthday Party Saturday Night a Lot of Dancing  Another Party on Monday Night, If I die tomorrow I have enjoyed the last few days lol  

You seem to be doing very well and sensible Walking is the best exercise
