Hi Daniel,

My name is Angelo, I had my colostomy surgery last Oct. 27, 2004. My life has been so fruitful, My job was in overseas, with two kid and a loving wife. One day I was diagnosed a rectal cancer and required immediate operation. So it was done. Many thing will affect your life, the way you dress, the way you socialize people, friends will somehow gone. Everything, sex life, outgoing etc. But you have to accept and learned to live with it. Although I am now home alone most of the time  but I was able to built a business of my own an Internet Cafe. I want to stay alive because of my children.

Anyway life is still good. God is still with me.

If you want to chat let me know.


Cheer up.

Angelo

Hello, I am new to this group. I had a colostomy for a while when I
was fifteen. I was shot in the stomach and had to have several
operations. Having to go to school with the colostomy was an everyday
frightful experience. But, I think I am a stronger person for having
gone through that. I just have never talked to anyone who has/had one
before and would like see how it has effected others

Thanks,

Daniel
