Excess baggage

This 'Speaking From Experience' video tells the story of people who are living with a permanent colostomy. Most people who have surgery for bowel cancer will not need a colostomy requiring them to wear a bag. Some patients will need a temporary colostomy after the operation, while others will need a permanent colostomy if the cancer is low in the bowel.
