Hello Everyone

My first entry l have lived with a colostomy and an urostomy for over 45 years and have never seen an ostomy on an other person. Sort of feels like I am the only person in the world with an ostomy

Hi Greg,I am glad you posted!! You are alone. I have my ile back again since Sept 2013. Had my first one March 2009 that was hard for me then. I had to get mine because of cancer. I am in remission now. But had complications in Sept after a colonoscopy. I am glad I have it now and can deal with it much better now then before. Even my kids (ages 14 n 11) come and help me with it when I need help. Or when they are checking on me to see if I need any help

You are NOT alone! We are everywhere!It's good when we can find Support to counter the ignorance and rejection we sometimes find when we take the chance to reveal our condition to someone. No.... I am not dying, OR: a female who used to be a man, untouchable (well, you know), or contagious!
