Hello all. But of an odd one, this, but I'd like to know if anyone on here is living with an ileostomy or other type of stoma. I had life saving, resulting in life CHANGING, colorectal surgery last year, so being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer a year later was a massive blow, and I now have a body with a totally mangled right side. It would be helpful to know how anyone in this situation copes with the extreme changes to their body. Thank you.

  • Hi   I'm sorry to read of your cancer diagnosis on top of your other challenges, gosh this must be really tough. I wondered if you've had a chat to anyone at Macmillan. The team on the support line are really great and it might be worth you giving them a call. Here's the Support Line contact details in case you find that helpful. Best wishes
