What? You have to wear a plastic bag attached to a surgical hole in your stomach and dispose of the bags like diapers are, as far as I know.

unfortunately if they remove your colon due to colon cancer you have that much less of your colon. Your small intestine can compensate for the loss of the colon somewhat. but to answer your question, no there is no replacement. I'm not even sure what you mean by rubber ball... but if you take out the colon, it will not look like you have a big divot in your stomach.

Who ever told you that is not telling you the truth. When people have colon cancer rarely is the whole colon removed. Usually the bad part is taken out and the ends of the two good pieces are attached to each other. It’s like fixing a garden hose. When the whole colon is removed there is only one good end left and it is attached to the abdominal wall from the inside and a bag is attached to the outside so the person can empty it. You can’t just leave an opening in a person so they can go in and out whenever they want. And you cannot store all your bowel movements for a couple of weeks. Can you imagine how much room that would take? Does that make any sense?
