The first major hurdle for me was the colostomy bag, but I have never shared about what it felt like after my second surgery. That’s a whole new challenge altogether. To explain in a little more detail, I had more problems because I had most of my rectum removed out. If it’s just my colon, it wouldn’t be so bad as the rectum is where we store waste in our bodies. So, it’s basically learning and re-training a whole new part of my body once again.
That’s what episode 3 is about, weathering through my second surgery. Do let me know your thoughts, or if you have a similar experience, I want to hear about it because I still feel ALONE in this area..
Happy Chinese New Year to all celebrating, and may this year be a prosperous, healthy and wealthy one for all of you:)
Love,
Mei Sze

Hi Mei Sze.
I learned about you via a friend recently when I was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 24. I just received my diagnosis and in fact, just got discharged from my colon surgery last week. Haven’t receive my report on the surgery and any post treatment consultation but so far so good. Fyi, no colostomy bag.
I never feel that I will be defeated and in fact finds that my diagnosis is a new responsibility to inspire others. Thanks for the strength and inspiration to stay positive. I write a little and am feeling motivated to share about my experience as well as it happens. Am using #sharestrength on my blog.
Look forward to upcoming episodes.
Love,
Staci
