Catheta after stoma operation

Hi I just dropped by and noticed you've not yet had a reply to your post I'm sorry to say. I myself have a different cancer and didn't have those procedures so I'm really sorry I can't help. As no-one here has been along to chat it may be no-one else has had the problem so you could type your question into the search bar at the top of the page where you might find some answers.

I sincerely hope it's now been sorted out. If not could I advise you give the Macmillan Support help, freephone number shown below and speak to a nurse.

I hope your hubby's still making steady progress.

Sending gentle hugs, B xx

Thanks MrsBJH,

Dave is having a TWOC, trial without catheter tomorrow, we have everything crossed, the stoma enough to deal with without anything else. Here's hoping. X
