I am so sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis and I hope that the surgery will be a success and that you recover well from it. Our website has information on having a colostomy or ileostomy and if you would like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses before you have the procedure, there is a free helpline you can ring on 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
I hope that you will hear from others here who have recently had an ileostomy and that they will be happy to share their experience with you.
