Travelling with a Colostomy

Hi, I have a Colostomy and Urostomy following a Pelvic Extenoration op for Colorectal Cancer. I am youngish and used to travelling a lot. I would like to fly or use trains but I am terrified of doing so in case of trouble with one of the bags - like it bursting because toilets are not available. Does anyone have experience of how to cope on a journey or is it best to avoid planes and trains? Any advice greatly appreciated. 

  • Hi only thing I can suggest is that you make sure you empty bag before journey if not sure put couple of thick freezer bags over and tape them up top, might be uncomfortable but safe. Then again proper bags should be fine you can always check were you get them from..
