The Social Side
The Social Side - for all Ostomates
"Seeing you all laughing and joking has made me realise that life does go on after a stoma." These words were spoken by an ostomate who had been in the chatroom for the first time. It brought home to me how important the "social side" was as part of stoma acceptance.

Just For Interest
Stoma Appliances - 1900's to the Present Day With the advent of the 21st Century, it would be fitting to look at how the colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy appliances of the 20th century have evolved with the aid of the cutting edge technology of the particular era.

Race for Life
Race for Life It is exactly 2 years to the day since at the age of 29, I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. There could be no better way to celebrate my return to health than to join with 1900 others to raise money for Cancer Research. I did this by taking part in the National "Race for Life" event organised by Cancer Research. "Cancer Research - Race for Life" from Rachael's Website (very inspirational!)
