Hi everyone. About two years ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer—had to have my rectum and about 14 inches of my colon removed—which resulted in a permanent stoma. Honestly, even after all this time, coming to terms with the fact that I’ll be wearing a stoma for the rest of my life has been... quite the journey. Even though it's been two years since the surgery, there are still days when this thing just drives me absolutely crazy. If anyone else here is dealing with similar frustrations, I’d love to hear how you manage it all. Thanks!
