I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and operated on 24 July 2017 and fitted with Stoma bag, I am awaiting a reversal when a slot becomes available in the near future, any comments on this procedure would be welcomed.

Hi Crissie
many thanks for your good wishes, I think I would have had the reversal by now had it now been for the exceptional demand on the nhs over the winter, Bill
Hiya Bill. Am afraid I am useless too on this subject but I have attached some information on this website which may be of interest. I think you are right about delays in the NHS. I have read that owing to exceptional numbers of people falling ill with 'flu there are no beds available and this kind of operation has to be cancelled. Hope things improve soon for everyone concerned. Annie xx
Hi Wig23,
I just wanted to stop by to put you in touch with two other members who have had a stoma reversal - [@JeremyBob] and [@BrewerB] - as they may be able to answer any questions you have about this procedure.
Fingers crossed they'll pop by to share their experiences with you soon now I've tagged them in this post.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
