An Ostomy Saved My Life - Jen, Stage IIIa Colon Cancer Survivor

It’s common not to want an ostomy at first — just ask Kristi. But she will also be the first to tell you how happy she is now living cancer-free with one.

Ostomies are life-savers: http://ccalliance.org/ostomy

An ostomy is a surgically created opening in your abdomen that allows waste or urine to leave your body from that stoma instead of your rectum and anus. Think of your ostomy’s function as you did your natural bowel movements. You still have the same bowel; it just might be redirected. Call our free Helpline with any more questions: (877) 422-2030
