If you have some pooh
Coming out of you
From a place not normally expected
Don’t feel dejected
Rejected
By society
Cos you and me
And thousands like us
Can thrive
Survive
Feel so very good
To be alive
If your stoma brings you down
Makes you frown
As though you’re no longer whole
Then tell your soul
To rock n roll
A bag does not define us
Nor confine us
To a life no longer fun
Live life
In the sun
"Eddie" was born 4th February 2021 and has provided much laughter and interest to date. I refused from the outset to let him and his idiosyncracies get me down, although I admit that at times, this has been difficult (particularly when starting a new relationship!!)
For those of you with Stoma's or similar, I would urge you to simply, be strong, and find something to make you smile.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
