Sending you my best wishes. I had a temporary ileostomy. following removal of all of my large intestine for cancer in 2009, I had a J-pouch constricted internally so I could have my stoma put back. I then had an unrelated cervical cancer diagnosis just after my 5 year post colon cancer marker . Had radical hysterectomy, removal of ovaries etc followed by chemo and radiation. You can only take each day at a time, cherish the better days and grit your teeth through the worse days until you come out the other side- which I pray you will x I’m 7 years post cervical cancer now but do worry about achieving the trifecta and getting another cancer 😫
I totally understand where you are coming from...I had cervical cancer surgery 3 years ago and had a radical hysterectomy and at the same time while having my biopsy on my cervix she asked if I wanted a uterine biopsy because of symptoms I had and she ended up finding endometrial cancer stage 1 also....so when you end up with 2 different cancers you do question is there going to be a third. Wishing you and Malin good health and a cancer free future.
You mentioned her getting her ureters removed during her upcoming surgery. Is Malin getting a pelvic exenteration? If so I hope you're aware of Tiffany Thinks on RU-vid? She had hers 3 months ago and is doing amazingly well. It's a big deal, but there is life afterwards.
I went to look up the name Malin because I was thinking how pretty it was and found out in english it means "little strong warrior" and thought how fitting for your current circumstances. Sending you all the best and thank you for sharing such a tough journey with us.
Shirley here, my mom had the bag she had colon cancer, she had it reversed in 9 months. It was major surgery. For weeks she felt like she had to go to the bathroom all the time finally that subsided.
God bless, you are both so lovely. I can say no more except to hope that although not your choice, the operation allows you less discomfort and pain. I hope my prayers and hugs find their way to you and your little family ❤️🤗🇬🇧🐻🙏 xx
I'm so happy the surgery went well. You are so brave, Malin. You will be fine. It will take a while but finally you will be ok. Sending you love. Thanks very much to both of you for keeping us updated as we really care about you & your family. 💚💚💛💛🧡🧡❤❤💖💖💜💜💙💙
GOD BLESS YOU and your family Malin for a speedy recovery and BLESS your sweet husband to cheer you on. You both are troopers. Love and best wishes your way.
I too had an emergency colostomy and it was so difficult at first…but honestly after a month of sucking life will get so much better! You can still live your life exactly like you did before and wear what you want to. Coming from someone who thought I would never get thru it …trust me you will. You will get thru this!!
Thank you for this nice comment. It’s so nice and motivating to hear from someone who’s been through it and is out on the other side! Thank you for sharing 🧡
My husband has had an ilieostomy 15 years ago at the age of 38 and it saved his life. His surgeon strongly recommended to not get the reversal it's not worth it.
They’ve done the same with me now, they strongly recommend me to not get the reversal so I’ve decided not to. More information about this in the next video. It’s nice to hear from someone who’s been through it and also can say that I’m making the right decision!
Thank you for the update Malin & Tom - I am glad to hear that surgery went well . I pray that you recover your strength well before your next surgery and that God’s healing hand will be upon you .May He give you both peace and strength through it all Malin & Tom 🙏 Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺 💕🙏
Malin, this was quite the unexpected curveball you were thrown, but you handled it so well...with such patience and strength and positivity. Better days are ahead friends! Stay strong and feel the love, hugs, prayers and energy that's being sent your way from all corners of the globe! Hope you are recovering well and enjoying Easter together as a family! 💓
Bless your Heart Malin. You are amazing in how well you are handling everything. And Tom as well. You are such a strong, positive couple. So glad you did a longer video sharing all that’s been going on. Prayers and more prayers that God continues to give you both strength as you begin the healing process. Keep us informed ok. God be with both of you.
Yay! So happy it all went so well! 🙏 Malin you are a true warrior. Tom you are her guardian Angel 😇 Prayers are being sent to you both! ❤🙏❤ Go get some rest!!!
Living with a stoma is a life changer for sure, but it’s easy to become accustomed to. I’ve had my ileostomy for 13 months now and she saved my life. It’s second nature to me now after a good learning curve with her. Positive thoughts to you and accepting your Ostomy in a positive way will help you mentally adjust love. Chin up. ❤ (my ostomy surgery was 22/03/22)
I also had an illiostomy for a few months due to severe UC and bowel being punctured during colonoscopy. They removed my large intestine, and when I woke up I had an NG tube, drains out my sides, IV’s going. How does she look like she just had some routine surgery with no downtime?! It’s impressive. I looked way worse than her!
My brother had a temporary colostomy bag for a couple of years he managed better than we all imagined ,when he had his reversal he was fine also ,just take one day at a time , minute for minute wishing you all the best in your recovery 💜

Oh Malin so glad surgery has gone well even though it was an unexpected hiccup. Tom thank you for the update you are doing a great supporting role! Love and hugs to you both from UK 💞💖xx
you ever heard of Sea Cucumber? I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia last year in November and since my discharged, my mom has been serving me Sea Cucumber soup which is a type of marine animal came from East Asia. It is to believe that it has medical properties for fighting cancer cells that the Chinese often eats. It's pretty pricey and expensive though but it's worth a try.
, the colostomy will be permanent? I thought it's temporary. Anyway, as someone who had a colostomy bag for 5 months and an ileostomy bag for 11 months (due to colorectal cancer), I have to tell you that it was way much easier with the bag than the situation after the reversal surgery. Take care of you!
Yeah I realised that we say it’s temporary in the video but the information that we got after this was recorded is that it’ll be a permanent one. Thank you for the support. I hope that you’ve recovered and feeling good now after your surgeries! 🌞
@@malinandtom, after the reversal surgery performer almost 2 years ago the things havent gone any better but I got used to the new reality. As you say, it is what it is. During the last 2 years there where many times when I whished to have my colostomy bag.
@@bobs1356 all stoma supplies are free in the UK. From the moment of surgery your stoma nurse registers you with a supply company and you just place your order every month and they deliver to your door for free.
Hi guys, thanks so, so much for sharing this with us!!!!. I am so happy this surgery at least went really well, that's really great news!. I know Malin wanted to enjoy a few weeks after quimo before the big surgery... and Malin, you will. This will be all over pretty soon and you will enjoy your kids, the van and your amazing husband. I know it feels now like far away but in a few months you will see things very differently. How are you dealing with the bag? I can imagine it has to be quite hard when you first face it, am I right???? We are all here, thinking of you both and looking forward to the next video....
So proud, you’re doing amazingly well. Your bowel will be nicely rested for your next op. I’m quite jealous, I spent a week on soup, disgusting jelly and horrid hospital icecream only after my op….
Hi guys you're going to ok looks like you had your operation on My birthday was on the 22.3.23. My Dr who did the operation on Me she's going to be putting me back into hospital on the 15.6.23. To have a great look inside of Me guys to See her work on Me is going to be going okay always thinking about you guys David from Milton NSW . Sydney Australia
Your page came across my RU-vid. Healing vibes from Massachusetts. Lovely young woman your age on a very similar journey.. @tiffanythinks Tiffany just turned 30, had colorectal cancer. Had a massive surgery mid December. She’s in the UK. Might be a good source of info. Tiffany is a love. All my best. 💙💙💙
