Hi, wondering if anyone is going to the Dansac Voice Life Roadshow at Manchester City FC on the 15th of September. All details are on the Colostomy Association website under "what's on." Tickets are free, and it starts at 9:30 until 4:30 with a play (STILL ME WAVING). It's traveling up and down the country, but as I live in North Wales, the Manchester show is the closest for me. So, if anyone is thinking of going, I would love to meet up with you

If you can make it, let me know; it would be nice to meet up with people from this site. x

This site has been a blessing for me in learning how to cope with and navigate this journey as an ostomate. I have a colostomy as a result of a perforation in my colon since May of this year. I don't know yet if it will be permanent or reversible. The people on here have provided me with so much advice and information about living with an ostomy that I don't think I could get anywhere else. You all have given me hope and a place to come to for support. I still struggle with acceptance, but know that it will come if I am patient. Patience has never been my strong suit! Also, I love all the humor, although it really pissed me off when I first came on here. Thanks to all of you.

Hello Carolw,
My wife and I attended their roadshow at Luton Hoo earlier this year with and we found it very instructive as well as being given a range of samples. (including a pair of decent curved scissors with rounded ends!)
The theatre group were very entertaining and their presentation was humorous, heartwarming, moving and amusing.
We would certainly recommend going to the roadshow if only to see this play.
Best wishes

Oh, thanks, Bill, I am looking forward to going. For me, this is the turning point of a new start in life, no looking back now, just going to enjoy a fresh start and make the most of every day. If you're ever visiting North Wales, I would love to meet up with you both. X

Hi Carol, I would re-iterate what Bill said; I went to the Cardiff show and found the play to be very moving. It wasn't quite a mirror image of my own experience, though it rang true for many of the audience members but where it was relevant to me, personally they had it spot on. There were some good exhibitors and some freebies to be had. I have been to a couple of these open days and would particularly recommend the Hollister one if/when it comes round your way. Good luck to all for the future, regards, Keith.
