Farewell, "The Phoenix" magzine

With the yesterday's arrival of the most recent "The Phoenix" magazine, published by United Ostomy Associations of America (UOAA), came their announcement that, "...our publisher has made the difficult decision that this current issue will be the final printed and digital edition of "The Phoenix.'"

For those of you, like me, who belonged to the UOAA and received "The Phoenix," it was a treasure-trove of helpful ostomy-related information, enlightening product reviews, tips, lifestyle profiles, and wonderful Q & A columns, including columns written by doctors and other medical professionals.

Change is certainly inevitable, but as an ostomate for 59 years, I will miss the invaluable information presented in every issue of this now-defunct publication.

May "The Phoenix" rest in peace.

Sorry to hear the magazine is discontinuing. I had thought about subscribing to it but never got around to it. I am glad it provided you with some good information.

Oh, no! I also found it to be chock-full of invaluable information.

I’m sure it all comes down to money and things that cost money and don’t produce money in some way don’t last long in today’s society. Never read it and never belonged to them but it’s a business and businesses make decisions based on money first and foremost.

Very helpful before we had the internet.

Me too…what a bummer!

Thank you. It really was an excellent publication. But such is life...

Ever onward!
