Phil Pepper's journey

Join

My name is Phil. My stoma is named Pepper, but I think Pepper is like my hero and I am his sidekick. Must be true, because I keep taking shit from him.

I was diagnosed with bowel cancer a few weeks ago. This is my story. I'm determined to beat this. I think I've caught it in time, I am fairly optimistic and I believe I have the strength to get through it.

I have a lot of family members and friends on this journey with me. Feel free to join me.
