Good Evening, Most~

There could be numerous agencies to contact near you:

County Senior Services

Hospice Organizations (through a local hospital and/or private business)

The UOAA (United Ostomy Association of America)-affilitated Support Group nearest you:  www.ostomy.org

Also consider reaching out to your surgeon's office and/or your GI doctor's office for possible guidance.

I hope you are able to get information from these resources to ease your mind & spirit.
