I have a permanent colostomy due to rectal cancer. It adds about 10 minutes at shower time to get my barrier "good and dry." I change my barrier twice a week, and that adds about 20 minutes. But I've been doing this and most days, it's just part of my daily routine. I just try not to overthink my cancer situation and move on, but I admit - it is a pain sometimes.

I hope you are doing okay. I have been thinking about you since it seems like our diagnosis and our journeys started about the same time. Know you have a cheerleader in your corner. I pray for you daily.

You have been on my mind the past few days. I hope you are doing relatively well. Hang in there. Sometimes all we can do is take it day by day, hour by hour or even just minute by minute.

How much time has having cancer added to your morning routine to get ready to go to work/school/church or wherever?

5 months agoFor me, I don't know if I took much longer to get ready in the morning. I showered every day, washed what was left of my real hair every other day, got dressed, and donned my wig. Outside of that, it was pretty normal for me. HUGS and God bless.
