Hello everyone. Im new to the community. Abit nervous actually.

I had bowel cancer last May and i now have a stoma, whom i named Eric, hence my user name. 

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    There's no need to feel nervous as we're all friendly and you'll get lots of shared experiences and support.

    The community is divided up into different group and you might be interested in joining the bowel cancer and ileostomy, colostomy and stoma groups.

    To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
