Hi all, I'm Jason, 57 years old, and I had a stage 4 tumor removed from my colon in January. After 3 months of heavy chemo, I'm now in remission. I have had a temporary ostomy on my left side for nearly a year, and I'm quite used to it now. My reversal has been put off till possibly 2024. My question is, is it worth having as I will be nearing 60 and not sure if I will be mentally strong enough to handle it as I'm dealing with it a lot better than I thought.
