Hi my nan has just had to have a stoma due to a tumor. She's obviously in a lot of pain, so was wondering if anyone could tell me roughly how long it takes for everything to heal and the pain to stop? Or any other advice you can give. Thanks.

Hello Sar.c.
Welcome to the forum.
Sorry to hear that the stoma is causing your nan a lot of pain. We have a few advice pages on stomas depending on the kind of tumor she has and which cancer it relates to. Please click here for all the pages and I hope they are useful for her.
Warm regards,
