    Awesomely detailed video! I had my pelvic exenteration in 2017. We are Flappies together. I haven’t ever heard from anyone else that had a gracilis flap too. Thanks for doing this informative video! Keep it up Jelena💪🏽

      Thanks so much, Mel! I had never heard of it before either, but it’s not really a thing people go into detail about casually. Now you know at least one other person 😀

    Hi,
    I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably.
    I would like to share the diet with you.
    The soup
    Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat.
    Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready.
    I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame.
    During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame.
    It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you.
    I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed.
    Best regards
    Chris

    I had LAR in January 21 for stage 3 which was 3 months after chemo/radiation I had permanent colostomy may this year. I have the same symptoms as this lady and this is the first time I've ever heard of radiation enteritis! Thank you both so much for doing this video as now I know what to ask my doctors and finally get some answers and treatment for my issues 😀

    Thank you for sharing this video
    It appears colon cancer is now common among people in their 30’s and 40’s.Also neoadjuvant therapy and radiation before surgery help lower recurrence rate.

    I hope you’re both doing well. Im due my end ileostomy reversal next week after having for two years. They’re also doing a flexible sigmoidoscopy to examine my sigmoid colon to see if all is okay prior to surgery. If it’s not they’ll reverse me but give me a Colostomy.

    • @matthew90276
      @matthew90276 Рік тому

      I was literally like take as much sigmoid colon as you need if need be. I just want this ileostomy gone and long for close to normality. I know from your videos as well as others bowel movements are questionable after surgery for a short time lol
