Life After Ostomy Reversal: Seeking Advice and Experiences

Hi

My name is Angie. I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer a year and a half ago. I then had a a colon resection to remove the tumour. Since then I have had a temporary illiostomy. I just had another major colon surgery a year and a half after I got the bag as the surgeon accidentally stapeled some of the tumor cells back inside my colon 😳 that was a month ago. I am healing well and feeling positive now that all the cancer has been removed. I am set now to have my reversal surgery in two months. I would love to hear from some other peeps who have had a similar senerio..as the drs are Making life after the reversal seem a little scary.

I'd be scared too if "the surgeon accidentally stapeled some of the tumor cells back inside my colon..."  The guy sounds like a butcher and I'd seriously consider seeing an experienced medical malpractice attorney.  Good luck to you.
