Hi What about vitamins? Did you want to take any vitamins? Were they recommended? Your videos has helped a lot. I'm about to start chemo and I'd like to be as prepared as I can be.

I can never go to the bathroom as it is now, do you think I’ll go to the bathroom after the reversal ? Does the reversal make you go all of a sudden etc

i have had an ilieostomy for 50 years. i never gave it a name

Very informative…..thank you both for the info.

Thank you so much for this video. It helped so much to understand the timing. I do my first prep tomorrow evening at 7 pm so now I will know to not expect sleep. LOL. Thank you for the tip about the diapers. My second dose is at 9:00 am and my appointment is two hours away. I think those diapers will come in handy. I am not looking forward to this but I am not afraid anymore. This is the best prep video I have seen! God bless you with health and joy!

Try an iwalk instead of knee scooter

So happy for you

I just wear a short nightgown w no underwear during prep

Hi jelena and to all the rectal cancer survivors out there. Thank you for this video. My mother has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer is undergoing oral chemo xeloda with 28 radiation sessions. Then she will have a port for iv chemo folfox, oxiplatin and leuvocorin and then finally surgery. I am so scared that how will she be able to handle all this. She is 67. Please pray for my mother.

I have no use for channels that use cliffhanger tactics for more views. 👎👎

It just seems like your doctors missed so many red flags. Blood in stool should have been immediately cause for concern and colonoscopy

Doctors will do anything not to see you, most of then are not even in the doctors surgery, they are working from home,

911 call before over after port? Just got the port today. Flush in 2 days...1st chem in 5. Thank you educational comforting.

I sent you an email

See I have Crohn’s, had a ileostomy done due to a fistula and leaky bowel. This even if not the same method, gives at least an idea of how my reversal will go. Thankfully my bowels are still producing mucus and moving. So I’m hoping it’s not as complex a method before I get my reversal.

I had foul gas with H. Pylori infection and gallbladder issues. My point is, we don't know so everyone get it checked out if you're having anything out of the ordinary. It could be anything, but don't ignore it because it could be something very important. I'm a thyroid cancer survivor, btw. It took them 19 months to finally diagnose me. Was even given a psych label for "anxiety" because I had a legitimate health issue.

I have been diagnosed with diverticlitis. no referal for a colonoscopy offered, but other advice questions why not ? So ive been spending some time researching, and so happy I found your video. Thankyou so much.

Good video. I am stage 2 rectal cancer. No bag. No surgery. No chemo. I look forward to 100% quality of life and a quick death in hospice. 55 years on this earth is not bad.

I have tummy issues at times too but it’s partly due to my 3 medical conditions I have .. but I have been changing my diet so far it has been helping ..

What are your better days after chemo. Like mostly more tired day 2-4. Trying to gauge life. I start 7/9! I have port placed tomorrow.

Thank you that was great. I ran to the store. Got some Gatorade and some MiraLAX instead of taking the stuff that the doctor gave me. I hope it works. I’ll let you know.

I appreciate your details about the symptoms you had. I am glad I am getting checked out.

I'm prepping now and the clear liquids aren't as bad as I thought. My instructions didn't include any diet changes more than the day before. I hope I am doing it right.

I am struggling. ..have lost weight the last year.. 6kg. Have had more frequent diarrea the last year.. then 12 qeeks ago bloatiness major gas. Abdominal pain and back pain.. weird symptoms indicating poor cirkulation in feet.. i have struggled with stess the last with divorce with kids involved.. my stool shows signs of indigestion and occasionally a fat stool. I had my blood checked on the 24/4 this spring.. nothing came up.. a ct skan showed nothing at the gallbladder or pancreas. A small lowattentiating area on the liver and a small cyst like strukture on the bottom of the left kidney.. i feel of.. weird muscle aches att times.. i am worried that the things on my liver and kidney are initial secondary tumors and the main tumor is hiding somewhere.. apparently 1/3 of pancreatic cancers are misssed on imaging. ..

Ive had mine for 2 months now...i had diverticulitis. Worst pain ever out of nowhere 1 day..im scared to get the reversal. July 9th is my appointment to talk about setting the date for surgery. No cancer but im scared of the things that can go wrong. Im 39 with a bunch of kids and my wife cant do it on her own if something should go wrong. I dont know what to do.

Can you please recommend a brand of adult diaper I should buy? I'm worried about accidents. My colonosopy is scheduled for august. I am in tears close to cancelling it is so overwhelming.

It doesn’t matter if the doctors don’t want to believe your symptoms are serious they will chalk it up to IBS-C. I have been dealing with this for YEARS.

Let us know how long it took you to get your bowl under control (working normally?) after the reversal and any hints like exercise... Your channel is by far the best on this terrible disease!

I had the same experience as yours..

Get mine put in tomorrow and this was great to ease my nerves.

Thank you for your detailed video and sharing your experience. Prepping for one this Friday. Wishing you continuous good health!

IF YOU HAVE BLOOD IN YOUR STOOL, GET A COLONOSCOPY!! You will most likely get a small amount of blood (as in when you wipe or pat you will see it). This happened to me and I was sent to a gastroenterologist and he treated me for hemorrhoids. My primary care physician stepped in and sent me for a colonoscopy and that’s when they saw the cancer. Go to YOUR doctor first, not a specialist, because they know you and your history. Specialist will sometimes try to rule out the worse case scenario which is dumb really. But that’s my opinion…

Have no pain, just some blood mucus, or just mucus.. and yes I have smelly farts and wet farts

6 months of the same drug. Followed by 25 rounds of radiation. I am a dentist. Never missed ONE day of work. I really had no symptoms thank the good Lord. I was 47 at diagnosis. Currently cancer free! We need a t-shirt or something for beating this!

hey did you have issues where your abs felt weak or one side wouldn’t contract as strongly as the other side ?

Where did you buy the pouch?

God Bless you❤

You're not younger than me, i was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at the age 21, year 2021 and had surgery and chemotherapy, but after almost 2 year's it get back.

I’m 21 and having many of the same symptoms but doctor tells me it’s anxiety and no point for a colonoscopy 🤦‍♂️

Im in a lot of belly pain from air/gas😢 its every second for 11 hrs. so far now. Pff. Like contractions

I have to go for treatment is it scary

Thank you so much you are awesome!!! I have surgery the 18th this really helps!!

I had smelly gas with my cancer too

I been watching a few videos about port insert. No one is talking about clogging and flushing. I have to have one. But I'm worried it will clog. Due to the chemo sessions being x3 weeks apart. Do you have to flush the port at home ?

@willowthepony Do not wait. Tell your parent if you are a minor. Schedule the colonoscopy asap to get answers and relief. Focus on answers instead of worrying as worries do not help you get answers or treatment. 🙏🏼

I heard hair dye causes cancer😮.....also tattoo ink😮
