Hi, my name is Neil. I have a colostomy since August 2013. I have a large lump; it's a hernia which is causing pain and discomfort and leaks. The surgeon said he will fix the problem. He wants me to irradiate if that doesn't work. As my colon isn't in great shape, he will give me an ileostomy. I don't know how well irrigation will work or how much more work an ileostomy is. If you can help with anything, please let me know.
