      I had colon cancer 12 years ago ( had all my colon removed) and unrelated cervical cancer almost 6 hrs ago . It’s important that we survivors speak out to give hope to those newly diagnosed . I feel so blessed to still be here and am now a doting grandmother.

    I completely agree with T T's comment about one day this will be a memory. I am a Cancer survivor stage 4. I was young like you are and went through HELL. I know how you feel and what you are going through. You got this! You will walk through the fire and get to the other side. I think it is great news that the cancer didn't spread to your uterus. I will be praying for your quick recovery.

    Ileostomy care is different for each person, and nobody knows your body better than you. Your body will adapt; however, if I may offer a couple suggestions to possibly help speed healing along safely:
    Stay hydrated as best as you can. An ileostomy typically results in malabsorption of fluids, nutrients, and medications. "Perative" nutritional supplement has micronutrients which absorb better than "Ensure." It's good to supplement even while eating regular foods. Medications with a coating don't absorb completely.
    To temporarily slow down output, injest three marshmallows about twenty minutes before changing the wafer/pouch.
    Lastly, a stoma creates a weakened area in the abdominal wall...try to avoid heavy work so that the stoma doesn't bulge and herniate. Leaks develop as your abdomen changes shape. Schedule an appointment with your wound/ostomy nurse to protect your delicate skin. They'll have wonderful solutions to help keep your skin/stoma healthy.
    Take care and God Bless🥰
