Hello. It has been a while since my last post on my mum.
She is now having her Chemo break at home, which made her reconsider the reversal of stoma.
Her tumor was very close to anus. The doctor said she is lucky enough as he got the skill of helping this kind of patients and it is possible for stoma reversal.
She has been using the stoma for almost one year as the surgery was in last August. She was then told to be stage 4 and started folfox.
As she is now having her chemo break, she is considering whether it would be better for her to reverse the stoma back.
We are extremely worried, however, as we do not know if she is going to start chemo later (we hope not sincerely) and her eating habit must be carefully manage.
My problems are
1. How long does it take for one to get used to reversal? I have heard that it is difficult to control stool coming out.
2. How do you manage your eating habit?
Thank you so much for any experiences and inputs. We appreciate any comments.
