Hello to my Ostomate friends!
I know this is weird but even though I have been reversed now for almost 3 yrs (2012), I still consider myself an ostomate or a friend to the ostomates! I check on here periodically and see if anyone needs support. I have been doing well, I have started chemo treatments as I have a small tumor on my liver, it is stable but they want to whack it before it grows (Carcinoid cancer is NON aggressive).
As far as my crazy colon and BM's, they are better but I still have anywhere between 3-10 bm's a day. I will go about 2 months before I get the rectal spasms which are very painful, and I will poop about 20 times! It used to be every day so it is getting more spaced apart. My connection was very low (mid rectum) hence my problems, but I am thankful and have accepted my "new" normal. Hopefully it will continue to get better, it just takes time. Our guts take a LOT of time to heal!
Hope and pray that everyone is healthy and well, God bless!
