Hello, my name is Bobby and Iam 42. I was diagnosed with Colorectal
Cancer in August of 2003. I ended up losing my rectum to the Cancer
and ended up with a permanent Colostomy. Iam sure I am like most of
you and deal with this on a daily basis, you have good days and then
again some bad ones. The physical aspect is my problem I work with a
General Contractor and can be doing anything from raking leaves to
shingling a house. Ive come very close several times having material
such as plywood hit my stoma, and have got home and had blood in my
bag. But what can you do, I have to work. Ive learned to be very
careful and after long talks with Boss he understands a bit better. It
will be 2 yrs in Dec for my Colostomy, if anyone needs someone to talk
to or anything I'll be there for them. I know around here I have no
one to relate to what I have. Again Iam glad I found this group.
