NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
This inspiring woman is opening up about her painful surgeries – and how she’s now living a happy and full life, with a stoma bag.
Holly Fleet, 28, underwent a proctocolectomy – where the colon and rectum are removed – after battling ulcerative colitis, which is a condition that sees the colon and rectum become inflamed.
The condition left Holly with agonising stomach pains and bleeding, and it’s been known to develop into cancer.
Holly said the procedure to have her rectum sewn shut was ‘excruciating’ as well as ‘mentally hard’, and that it felt like ‘superglue’ down there as it healed.
