David, do you have a spastic colon? Is that is what is making you cramp? Peter has the same type of urostomy stoma that you have. a convex. It took quite a while to find the right appliance to fit...
Oh David, I am so glad to see you here. I am hoping that you will be feeling better. My husband, Pete, was in the hospital in March with an ileus..blockage. He has both urostomy and colostomy from...
Today, Peter and I were on Dr. Samadi's radio call in show. I had contacted Dr. Samadi yesterday and told him about Peter's journey for the past 14 years. i.e. Radiation and seeds, lupron, and then...
Dear David, I felt like checking in here after almost a year to the day. I saw your name, and had to write. You and I joined about the same time (2008). You and my husband, Peter, have been through...
Halbert, my best wishes to you. Interesting that you said your father was a chemist. My husband was a chemist also., working with nicad batteries, (nickel cadmium), he has patents for some of the...

Dear David, I just wrote you a note on your email. I have not posted here for awhile, but, want you to know how much your kind words have helped me, in the past years. Peter had the exenteration...

Big problem, constantly at night. My husband consistently pulls out the tube to the overnight jug when he turns over. Big wet messes often at night. What do some of your recommend. His stoma is very...

I started a new post…I am thinking that my husband has the ballooning problem because of his cpap machine for sleep apnea. I have contacted the sleep doctor, and as of yet, have not heard from him,...
