Managing hydration challenges with an ileostomy during cancer treatment can be incredibly difficult, and it sounds like this has been a significant part of your journey. Many patients in the colorectal cancer community face similar struggles with fluid balance and finding the right support from their medical teams - you're definitely not alone in dealing with these complications, and your experience could be valuable for others navigating similar challenges.
