- What happens when you have surgery and the wound doesn't fully heal? I talk with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer survivor, Diana, about her Lower Anterior Resection and permanent colostomy surgery, how she realized that her body wasn't healing properly, and what she's gone through to try to fix it. Learn why gracilis flap surgery may be an option for you either as a follow-up procedure or during your initial surgery.

Thank you very much for your stories. You are both incredibly brave and strong women.
Hi,
I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably.
I would like to share the diet with you.
The soup
Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat.
Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready.
I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame.
During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame.
It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you.
I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed.
Best regards
Chris

Awesomely detailed video! I had my pelvic exenteration in 2017. We are Flappies together. I haven’t ever heard from anyone else that had a gracilis flap too. Thanks for doing this informative video! Keep it up Jelena💪🏽
Thanks so much, Mel! I had never heard of it before either, but it’s not really a thing people go into detail about casually. Now you know at least one other person 😀
Thx so much may god bless you both
Our pleasure! 💙
So sorry that you and your family are going through this it’s difficult to hear news like that I have doctor with Crohn’s for many many years. Now it is cancerous. I have two grand to the grand children that I love so much they bring light to my life and there is medicines there is treatments that will help you. God bless you.
This was a great video. Good information on life after surgery from cancer. Loved her being so honest . You look good Jelena 👍
Thank you! 💙 I’m glad you enjoyed it.
What a strong inspirational lady, Exceptionally informative video as always Jelena ~ Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! 💙
I had LAR in January 21 for stage 3 which was 3 months after chemo/radiation I had permanent colostomy may this year. I have the same symptoms as this lady and this is the first time I've ever heard of radiation enteritis! Thank you both so much for doing this video as now I know what to ask my doctors and finally get some answers and treatment for my issues 😀
So happy to help! I’m sorry to hear your dealing with similar issues, but hope that with this new knowledge you and your team can maybe get you on a healing track now 💙
You both are angels serving us by sharing your stories. God bless you both and 100 percent health for you and your families...
Thank you for this very informative video. These videos explain a lot that the doctors in my area do not bother to explain. I wish good health and healing to both of you young ladies.
I’m happy to hear how helpful my videos have been for you 😀 Wishing you the best of health too 💙
❤you both are fabulous ❤
Aw, thank you ☺️
Thank you for sharing this video
It appears colon cancer is now common among people in their 30’s and 40’s.Also neoadjuvant therapy and radiation before surgery help lower recurrence rate.
Thank you for another great story. Have you considered a video on the emotional and mental toll years after cancer diagnosis?
I actually have a playlist of a few videos where I talk about my mental health struggles post-cancer treatment. You can find it here: Cancer and Mental Health

@@SurvivorJelena Thank you for the prompt reply. I probably have seen them but forgot. Cheers my friend and don't give up.
@@SurvivorJelena No one knows what it's like except us.
Thank you for the video...and there are people like Mk Lovlif CZcams channel who are busy making fun of cancer patients and their families....thats really bad...and CZcams cant do anything about it.
I hope you’re both doing well. Im due my end ileostomy reversal next week after having for two years. They’re also doing a flexible sigmoidoscopy to examine my sigmoid colon to see if all is okay prior to surgery. If it’s not they’ll reverse me but give me a Colostomy.
I was literally like take as much sigmoid colon as you need if need be. I just want this ileostomy gone and long for close to normality. I know from your videos as well as others bowel movements are questionable after surgery for a short time lol
Gonna be in glenwood springs co for a week in august
Hope you are well
Enjoying the hot springs I hope! Enjoy!
