Hello, I wonder if any one is suffering with this ailment. I am eighty. Have been treated at a variety of hospitals over a period of ten years. First surgery carried out in 2003. Am between a rock and a hard place. Can have a colostomy at a private BMI hospital for £25,000, or wait indefinitely on the NHS waiting list with no date for the foreseeable. Every day is a challenge. I appreciate that there are countless people far worse off than I am. I would however be most grateful of any first hand information that can help me to manage this dire situation. Thank you.

Oh I have avoided this thread because I am not good with medical stuff, but if I’d known it was raising money for a much needed operation I would have gladly have contributed.

All the very best soop.

Dickens Tue 21-Dec-21 08:37:41

... this is the happiest thread on GN at the moment.

Was feeling very 'bah humbug' about Christmas until I came (late) on this thread and realised I could do something meaningful and give instead of consume.

So happy for soop. What a relief for her to be given the chance of a better life.

The world seems a better place today.

Auntieflo Tue 21-Dec-21 08:44:48

I just had to look and see how the fund raising was doing.
Then, WOW, the target has been reached. What a wonderful start to the day, for Soop and her family, and all the Gransnetters who have been cheering her on to reach her goal.
As Gagagran said, it has put a big smile on my face as well, and I admit to feeling emotional as well.

And it still isn’t too late to donate, there might be extra costs for soop and her family, post op.

Carry on giving……
