Donating Surplus Ostomy Supplies After New FDA Ruling

In prior years, I have always donated my surplus supplies to my ET nurse.  She told me this morning that they are no longer allowed to accept them due to a FDA ruling. She said that I could donate them to the American Cancer Society.  So if people are looking for supplies you might want to call your local ACS to see if they have them available.

Another place to donate is Osto Group.  They will accept outdated supplies (within reason) and only charge shipping to the uninsured and needy.  http://www.ostogroup.org/

If all goes well next monday I will lok them up as I will have lots of leftovers

  Good to know!  Thanks for sharing!

Hello, I am from Lafayette, IN. Good to see someone close to where I live. I have an ileostomy due to a cancer drug a doctor gave me, and I feel he did it for the money because the cancer doctor I have now said they would have done radiation. I am so mad this happened in March, and I am trying to accept it. Most days I do, but other days I want to sue his ass off. I was thinking about hooking it back, but I have no colon, so it will just be the small intestine, and I have heard so much about doing that and it's not good. Do you know much about it? I know it's a lot easier to have a colostomy. Is that true?
