Main Chat is Saturday 8pm UK Time which is 3pm EST ish.

Have you been told you need an ostomy (colostomy/ileostomy/urostomy)
to deal with your cancer?
Maybe you have already had this surgery and are coping with it?
Or maybe a loved one is dealing with this and you want to support
them?

We are an ostomy support group, here to help you with:

the practical side of living with your ostomy
the emotional issues
how treatments (such as chemo) affect your ostomy
how to cope with the treatments and tests with your ostomy.

You will meet people of all ages and with different medical conditions
( not all have cancer).
Some have a reversable ostomy, others a permanant one. We also have
those who have undergone a reversal.

Don't face it alone.

Want to chat another time? The room is open 24/7 and is usually busy.

If you have a serious ostomy support question please do not hesitate
to ask us. We'll stop fooling around and support you as best as we
can. Its a fun, friendly atmosphere in here, but we all know the
seriousness of the ostomy topics. We respect that this room is here to
support everyone and their ostomy needs.
