pelvic exenteration

Almost one year ago, my 48 year old married daughter with no children had recurrent cervical cancer.  She had a complete pelvic exenteration in which they rebuilt her vagina and she has 2 stomas.  As a result of the surgery, she has nerve damage in one leg and is in constant pain and has very little feeling in her foot.

She is very depressed about her new body and I cannot get her to join any support groups or even read the material I send her about her condition.  I am hoping that someone with the same condition will read this and be willing to call her.

Please let me know
