Me too....I have had my ostomy for 52 years....and there was no support
then...I am sure the new ostomates need this Group. What can we do?

Hi Stewart
So sorry to hear that the group may be disbanded. I had my iliostomy in 2001
and only for this group I don't know what I would have done. Any questions
I had were always answered for me and any information that I learnt for
myself was passed on either in the chat room or by email. It would be such a
pity for the simple reason because there is very little help out there apart
from the iliostomy nurse who is so busy and for me it means travelling a
good distance. Loosing this group would be like loosing close friends.
When i had my iliostomy i felt so alone and could not express how I felt to
anyone especially my loved ones but everyone here understood because they
have all been through the same thing.
I don't know what it would take to keep this group on but I would be willing
to help in any way i can.

Regards,
Bernie

Looks like no one is interested,so unless anyone comes forward I have
it in mind to delete the group on June 31st.
It would be a shame for it to end this way after all the good work
members have done over the years.
If anyone has any comments please post them.
