Hello, I survived stage 4 cervical cancer after 4 surgerys chemo and radiation later I finally made it the outcome of surviving is having to wear a colostomy and urostomy bags the rest of my life and I'm 32 years old. I'm in a depression because I feel like I'm never going to find love again. When I got the cancer and everything my bf/baby dad at the time was not there for me at all I felt so alone my mom was by my side every step of the way but now it's like he doesn't want me because of my colostomy and urostomy bags and we have been together for 8 years. Can anyone relate on how can I get passed this rough time in my life?
