At age 14, Slaide Bowden was told he needed colostomy surgery. Amidst everything else that comes with teenage life, it wasn't what he wanted to hear.
What he did want to hear were the stories of people who'd been in his shoes. Now he's been through it, he's sharing his experiences here.
Overall, what advice would Slaide give to those starting out on their journey?
“Go in positive, but at the same time, be ready for every situation that you face. Not everything will go smoothly, but it is what is and you have to be prepared and not just gloss over it... Take it all one step at a time.”
