Pretty sure just lying on a bed of any variety is possible with an ostomy!
Not really sure why you would want to expose yourself to radiation more harmful than the sun, skin cancer being the main reason (and ending up looking like an old leather handbag the other!)
Just don't stay in there too long (see below)

Every morning when I enjoy my big cup of coffee I scroll through this site and this warm feeling just overwhelms me.
I never post anything (too shy and it feels like I don’t have anything of interest to share tbh) but I sure read a lot of posts from you guys and they are so informative, supportive encouraging and so so full of love and a big dose of humor.
I feel like part of the best family in the world (even though I am just sitting quietly in the corner lol).
I just wanted to share that feeling and say thanks to all of you for being so wonderful.
And also, please keep some fingers crossed for me this week. I have my blood test on Thursday, checking my CA 125 levels. Ovarian cancer reoccurrence fear unlocked again. I hate it!
Lots of love from Sweden

Thanks Jo for the information I was just wondering if someone that has an ileostomy or any other type of an Ostomy that has tanned in a bed or spray. I know I can lay out. But it's harder the older you get and I don't know how old you are. But I don't look like a leather purse!!!!

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
