Hi

Just wondering if people read this site or if there is another for support etc, I belong to the endo site as well and that is quite busy. This one seems to be much less so, I know there are more opeople with endo than stomps but wondering if there was a more regular site?

Thank s

Steph

Steph:

There seem to be very few people using this site. I would recommend the Inspire ostomy group; it is very active and helpful.
