I am sorry to hear about your dad's anal cancer diagnosis and it must have been a bit of a shock to you and your family. I hope the surgery goes well for your dad. We have some detailed information on our website here about what the surgery would involve and you can understand more about why your dad might need to have these bags on our page here about having a colostomy for anal cancer.

If you or your dad have any questions, our nurse helpline might be able to help and you can give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope your dad's surgery goes well and that he adapts quickly to the bags.
