Is it typical to live many years using a colostomy bag?

Asked by Aster (20023points) March 11th, 2019

A friend of my grandson wears a colostomy bag ; she has colon cancer. I keep reading that you can wear those for five to twenty years! Is this the norm? Are they often removed or would that be the exception?
