Hi everyone,
I haven't been on here in a while, and since the last time, my situation may have changed. I'm still waiting to hear back from my doctor, but depending on how my latest results are, there is a strong possibility that I may have to go in for another surgery and have an ileostomy done. When I was initially diagnosed I think I knew that it would be a possibility one day, but now I don't feel mentally prepared or know really what to expect.
Can anyone share what their experience was like having it done? How are you dealing with it now? Is there anything I should know? Is it something that is permanent? How do you live with it?
Thank in advance for your help!
