Have met a woman. The bag is no issue even when intimate! So yes, you can have a relationship even with a colostomy due to cancer!

Hello honestabe.
Thank you so much for your post and congratulations on finding someone who doesn't have an issue with the stoma. It is a welcome counterbalance to the many posts where partners or potential partners are turned off by the whole affair.
Best wishes
