I have just had Bowel cancer surgery ( 8 weeks ago) and have a temporary Stoma on my tummy, For those who dont know it intercepts your waste and allows the colon to succesfully heal where it has been rejoined up again. Mine is an Ileostomy.
We are away in the motorhome tomorrow for a few days for the first time since the op and I have to empty my stoma reasonably regularly and in the dead of night usually around 3am.
Anybody been in my situation and have tips on how to empty it down a 2" hole into the cassette without having a massive clear up after or is it best to trapse to a toilet block?
I'm all clear of cancer now by the way so I recommend the pooh test you have to do every two years once you get to 60, I had no symptons.
