The Stoma
01/10/25 • 32 min
Episode 25
Well as the boy's move into an exciting new year and today we are very luck to have special guest Jim Bunch.
Jim Bunch joins us today and tells us all about his battle with Cancer, diagnosis, treatment and major surgery which has left Jim with a Stoma bag.
Jim has kindly agreed to tell us today all about his experiences, his day to day life and the changes he's had to make with his new Stoma bag.
A stoma bag is a bag that collects waste from a stoma, which is an opening in the abdominal wall that connects the bowel to the surface of the body. A stoma can be created for a number of reasons, including bowel cancer, bladder cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, or an obstruction in the bladder or bowel.
Adjusting to a colostomy can be difficult, but it does not mean you cannot enjoy a full and active life. Colostomy equipment is discreet and secure, and you should be able to do most of the activities you enjoyed before.
Award winning BBC presenter, Adele Roberts, didn't let her stoma bag slow her down after bowel cancer surgery.
We thank Jim today as his story I'm sure will help and inspire other's especially those who are about to go through a similar scenario.

On the Road
Season 2, Episode 26
Well January and February slots are getting full with some exciting guests so Martin & Patrick thought they would fit in one with themselves.
The Boy's are on the road again and this episode has been recorded in their hotel room in Aylesbury the night prior to an interview with another exciting celebrity guest.
Onto todays episode, the boys bring us up to date with their respective illnesses Heart Disease and Stage 4 lung Cancer.
Cancer is a large group of diseases that can start in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, go beyond their usual boundaries to invade adjoining parts of the body and/or spread to other organs.
Coronary heart disease occurs when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle is blocked or reduced. This puts an increased strain on the heart, and can lead to: angina – chest pain caused by restricted blood flow to the heart muscle. heart attacks – where the blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked.
Some interesting facts about the two illnesses and a discussion around these facts.
Martin has been looking at his own security online, and thus discusses Scammers and how to be safe online and deal with emails or telephone calls that don't seem right. Some tips on passwords and what to look out for online.
Finally we do get a chance for "Martins Joke of the week" it's quite a long one this time but please stick with it.
