Hi all, I'm awaiting surgery to have a urostomy and a possible colostomy after my cancer coming back. I'm wondering how long I will have to stay in the hospital? My consultant says a minimum of 10 days! As it's coming up to Christmas, I'm quite worried about missing Christmas. Added to that, the hospital is about 60 miles from my home and loved ones. I'm not looking forward to this and could do with someone to message me with some words of wisdom or advice! Thanks.
