OP, thank you for opening up about this. I have known many people who have to deal with stomas, and I have max respect for you. I do have a question though, and it’s more for curiosity....

If you were to touch or rub something against your stoma, do you feel it? Maybe not pain so much, but when someone (or myself) accidentally pokes inside my belly button, it makes me uncomfortable. This is how I imagine it, I’d love your input!

Good luck beating the cancer. I appreciate you bringing this awareness.

Thank you so much for your response! I’ve heard there are no pain receptors inside the intestines, but sometimes when I’m on the toilet I feel like they do (haha).

I wish you the best, and thank you for being so open about this. Awareness around things like this helps with the stigma, and I really appreciate you being honest and open about something that a lot of people wouldn’t.
