Have met a woman. The bag is no issue even when intimate! So yes, you can have a relationship even with a colostomy due to cancer!

Hello honestabe. 

Thank you so much for your post and congratulations on finding someone who doesn't have an issue with the stoma. It is a welcome counterbalance to the many posts where partners or potential partners are turned off by the whole affair. 

Best wishes

Bill

Pleased to hear you've met a woman, honestabe.....yes, you're right, having a bag doesn't stop anyone from having a relationship.

I used to be one of the negative ostomies about dating! Not anymore!
