When you have first had your surgery, you may feel that you are the only person who has ever had a stoma. But you are not alone.
Many find comfort in talking to their family or close friends, but it can also be tremendously helpful to talk to someone with similar experiences about life with a stoma. Ask your Stomal Therapy Nurse if it might be possible to put you in contact with other ostomates.
A good place to start could be your local ostomy association.
