double ostomy

hi i am tammy. little over 4 years ago i had cerivicl cancer stage 3B. and due to the cemo and radiasion a year later my insides decided to fall apart. woke up and went to go pee and wiped myself and there was poop. had to get a colosomy and 5 days after that my uritha decided to call it quits and had to get a ur ostomy. so the past 3 years i have had to deal with the emossions of having both and neather can be reversed due to all the damage i have. at the time of treatment i was with my ex boyfriend. due to all the stress of all of this got to him to where he became violent. it has been 2 years since the break up. now i am dating a wounderful man that has accepted me and my battle scares. i have meet people that have had colostomys, illeostomys or a ur ostomy. but no one that had 2 of what i have and to have that kind of suport. was woundering if i am the only one out there and if not let me know.
