[|Human|] What type of collecting bag on the outside of my body would I been given?  How does this all work?  I am a stage 4 colon cancer patient who has been diagnosed with (2) malignant tumors on the bladder which has caused some type of urine to seep out of my rectum.  This is a constant event that happens 24/7.  Would this surgery enable me to pass urine through the device explained.  I am wondering about the risks involved.  I am a 75 year old white female and besides my colon and now bladder cancers, am in good health.  Can you shed some light on this matter for me.  I am looking for information that will help me get a better idea of what I am to expect with and without the surgery.  Please let me know if there is any information that you need to help answer some of these questions.  I will try and answer them as best possible.Thank you,Linda Lew
[|AI|]  Hi Linda and welcome to Chat Doctor. I am sorry about your condition and want to encourage you for future. This is serious, but I am sure you will get used to this new situation. Many people are afraid of colostomy, ureteroscopes etc. but they soon realize that there is no some big deal and problem about it. There will be a bag which can be easily and attached and removed form your stoma hole, and you should change it once in 2 days depending on size.it is usually not seen underneath the clothes. Everything else is the same as before. You just won't need to go to bathroom. I am sure you'll adapt very soon. Wish you good luck and good health.
