Holly, thanks for the tales from the trenches.

The more I read, and hear, the more I am leaning towards an Indiana pouch. The illeal conduit seems the simplest and easiest on the body, but I have psoriasis that flairs up with stress, or any kind of irritation at all, and I'm afraid the bag would instigate an outbreak. I don't want to be dealing with that on top of everything else.
I'm still waiting for more scans and results to be sure it hasn't spread to my bones or elsewhere, then the oncologist, and then a plan for treatment.
On the bright side, I'm improving my vocabulary with this sudden sharp learning curve.

Thanks everyone, for reaching out and introducing yourselves. I think I'm going to like it here.
