“I took this photo yesterday, it wasn’t sunny, but I wanted to record one last photo with my ileostomy bag, which has helped me so much over the last 3 and a half months”, she began.

“I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to use it while my body healed.
At first it was very difficult, but when I understood that she had saved my life, I changed my relationship with her, and yes, we became best friends, and I named her Angel”, he added.

“In these 3 months I got to know a world I didn’t know, the world of ostomates, where I came into contact with a lot of people who have been through or were going through the same thing as me, and I realized how stigmatized this subject was, how much prejudice, how much misinformation there is “, he spoke.

“I am a woman who has never hidden who I am, not even my pain. Life, once again, has shown me that my existence is about representation, that yes, my body, my struggle, my victories inspire and can contribute to a collective transformation”, continued.

“I’m grateful to the doctors, the stoma therapists who gave me support and the thousands of messages I received of welcome and support. I’m here at the hospital ready for this next step, I’m going to have the reversal surgery today, and I’m getting closer and closer to the end of treatment! finished.
