After removal of my colon cancer, I ended up with a colostomy bag, 7 weeks ago, tonight it bulged out, any one else had this happen? Should I worry?
Hi Carolee. Glad to hear it was nothing serious - you’d probably eaten something different which is hardly surprising at this time of year. You’re allowed a panic or two when it’s all still so new. There’s another forum on here for people with a stoma - I’ve found some very useful advice on there.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
