Hi I’ve had major surgery in may and recovering well. It’s been tough and I’m now having to live and deal with 2 stomas. Has anyone else had this procedure.
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been through such a large surgery but it's good to hear that your recovery has been going well. I hope that you have lots of support around you.
I don't think we currently have any members who are actively posting that have been through this surgery but I do know we've had lots of posts about pelvic exenteration previously. I'd suggest using the forum search function at the top of the page to look for the term "Pelvic exenteration" and you'll then be able to read through some of those posts. Hopefully, they will offer you some insight and reassurance.
You might also like to have a look at the Colostomy UK website. They offer support to people living with stoma and their services include a telephone befriending service.
If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses at any point you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Fri day 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
I do hope that the rest of your recovery goes well.
