Short review. MAOM has helped me feel better by helping others it made me feel useful, worthy, important. It took my depression away. The more you use the site the more you get out of it.

Yes, isn't it great! There were many races, fundraising and awareness activities world wide. I am happy that the message about life with an ostomy is being shared. Stanley was happy too:) We are not alone. Take care. LH
