This way, the experiences of colostomized people due to cancer are reported and analyzed. Their living-in-the-world with stoma and their use of excrement bag are investigated. Martin Heidegger’s existential phenomenology has been employed to understand these people’s experience.

Research has been approved by the Permanent Ethics Committee in Research with People of the State University of Maringá. The issue involved in current research was: What has changed in your life after stoma surgery? Discourse interpretation revealed convergent feelings which produced the existential theme: the temporality of colostomized person’s living-in-the-world.

They should transcend disease-imposed restrictions so that they may visualize other possibilities to continue living in the world.
