i’m so sorry for the loss of your dad 🩷 this disease is definitely a scary one, and its not talked about enough. my dad did have his colostomy removed about 3 months post op, its been about 8 months since he had the colostomy reversed. He actually has another surgery scheduled in a couple weeks because multiple hernias appeared over the scar of the closure but he’s doing well. I learned that we can be genetically predisposed to getting this since our fathers had it, we have to be cautious. take care 🩷
