You are not alone!

Many people with an ostomy find comfort in talking to their family or close friends, but it can also be very helpful to talk to someone with similar experiences about life with an ostomy. Ask your ostomy nurse if it might be possible to put you in contact with others who share the same experience.

A good place to start could be finding a local support group, you may wish to check out the Ostomy Canada Society website at www.ostomycanada.ca.
