Hi miss julie, I am a relative newcomer to colostomy world. I had an emergency colostomy in November 2016. I am now coping well. So feel I will help if I can. You seem a very brave lady and wish you well X

Good morning miss Julia 69, my favourite saying is "Iam not going to die! They are just taking me away in little pieces. ". You seem much younger than me so hope, you make a good recovery and can. Start living again

Hi everyone, just joined today. I had my stoma also June 2017 due to surgery for ovarian cancer, now I have finished my chemo I would like to start getting out and about but feel quite nervous as mine seems to be quite a high output colostomy.
