Is there anyone like me who cannot eat due to esophageal and stomach cancer? I have had a permanent PICC line in my upper arm aorta with a long needle inserted into a vein that goes next to my heart. I get 100% of my nutrition through the liquid in the TPN bags which are connected 16 hrs. a day, every day. I will most likely have it for the rest of my life, which isn't many more years, the doctors say. I want to know if your colostomy bag fills quickly or any other challenges?
