    Episode 25

    Well as the boy's move into an exciting new year and today we are very luck to have special guest Jim Bunch.

    Jim Bunch joins us today and tells us all about his battle with Cancer, diagnosis, treatment and major surgery which has left Jim with a Stoma bag.

    Jim has kindly agreed to tell us today all about his experiences, his day to day life and the changes he's had to make with his new Stoma bag.

    A stoma bag is a bag that collects waste from a stoma, which is an opening in the abdominal wall that connects the bowel to the surface of the body. A stoma can be created for a number of reasons, including bowel cancer, bladder cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, or an obstruction in the bladder or bowel.

    Adjusting to a colostomy can be difficult, but it does not mean you cannot enjoy a full and active life. Colostomy equipment is discreet and secure, and you should be able to do most of the activities you enjoyed before.

    Award winning BBC presenter, Adele Roberts, didn't let her stoma bag slow her down after bowel cancer surgery.

    We thank Jim today as his story I'm sure will help and inspire other's especially those who are about to go through a similar scenario.
