Hi all
I've just posted this to a new member LINK and thought that many new members are worried about life after becoming a ostomate often fearing it more that the reasons for getting a stoma.
Could you be an inspiration to a new ostomate and tell them what you've achieved since getting your bag and what can you now that you used to do before getting your bag.
Have you travelled, have you got married, have you started a family, have you taken up a new activity, are you able to do everything you were doing pre stoma - I'm sure the list is endless
LET'S INSPIRE
Ian
