Cassandra has proven you can do ANYTHING with an ostomy, including competitive martial arts!
Charlotte was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis as a teen and had a total colectomy and j-pouch created shortly after diagnosis. The j-pouch did its job well, but a few years later in routine surveillance testing, Charlotte was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. This disease was controlled with medications, and Charlotte became a nurse, got married, and had 2 children. In 2015, however her j-pouch failed, and surgery required the creation of a new and permanent ostomy. Her Crohn’s is currently in remission and she is enjoying all the things that life with an ostomy allows her to do. She continues to work full time as a pediatric nurse practitioner in Michigan, and in her spare time she enjoys baking, re-finishing furniture, and all things artistic.
