Well, this is a surgery update, Since my last surgery that was March 7, I had a prolapse growth on my stoma, which was cancerous, I let my surgeon remove it in the doctor office and he sent it off to biopsy. 

So now we’re going to have a revision of my stoma where my surgeons gonna take part of my colon and make me a new stoma, and I pray that all my cancer worries will stop, So I can enjoy time with my granddaughter as I’ve been watching her Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM and she is my reason for feeling so well and hoping for the best.

So I need all my little prayer warriors to give me some prayers on June 13 my new surgery date for stoma revision. I thank each and everyone of you and I so appreciate you all thank you so much, Linda

I wish you the best and will be thinking of you.I have sugery the next day for the 8th time in 2 yrs to try and take a stent out of bile duct which has been unsuccessful and just replaced constantly and this time he's going to try and take my stent out of my pancreas duct that he put in 4mths ago to stop fuild from leaking into my abdomen. So far all the biopsies have come back negative for cancer but now have developed chronic pancrantitis...anyone that's had problems with their pancreas knows it's a B@%H  to deal with the pain after its been messed with...I hope everything works out for the best for you !!!

I had my surgery on June 13, 2024, Cancer came back on my stoma. I’ve been out of the hospital for a week and I feel great. I appreciate all your prayers.

I’m not sure if I’ll be coming in here too much because the people I’ve talked to before have not the greatest people to talk to or I thought they were and because I take things literally or because I take things seriously I’m not a good enough person to talk to so you well have a blessed life. I’ll pop in here from here to there. I love making my comments and I got a few in here, but I’ll be back to visit, hugs to you all in friendship and everything else. Take care of my friends.

Hello,

Hope you are recuperating well.

Web sites, where people type posts, are hard to judge what a person's intent is.  Talking in person, we see their face, body language, vocal inflections as they speak.  But with a writen post, we contemplate written words.  Some folks are gifted writers, some excellent with spelling, grammar, vocabulary.  We all have different writing skill.  I wouldn't assume someone is unkind just by a text or two.  And sometimes we all have differences of opinion, different experiences guiding our judgement and commentary.  I would encourage you to continue participating on this web site.  Your experience and personality add to the wonderful mix of world wide Ostemates who share personal stories everyday.  I was kinda lost in the weeks following surgery.  I had this stoma.  I was taught how to change the wafer.... but nothing about CARING for it.  That, I learned here.  I've read many of your posts,  and many others.  Thay made me the confident, experienced ostemate I am today.

Keep us posted on your progress.  

Cheers,

Dan

I hope you have a good recovery and that all of the cancer is gone.

I’m so sorry that your feelings were hurt and that you felt like you aren’t good enough to talk to - of course you are!  I think it’s like Beach Boy said…it’s sometimes difficult to get a good “read” on someone when it’s only written words and we can’t see each other and don’t necessarily know each others quirks and personalities.  I can’t imagine that anyone on this site intentionally wished to make you feel excluded.

Take Care & love up that grandbaby!
