I take part in these forums almost every day. They and the people that contribute to them have made all the difference in my having the courage to live a normal life with an ileostomy. The people here are marvelous and come from all walks of life and from all over the world. Hearing what others have lived through has really helped me put my own experience in perspective. I highly recommend all ostomates and caretakers of ostomates to come join us.

Hi BITDIFF My name is Marsha, and I live in the US but my son and his wife live in Queensland ( Robina). I've been to Oz ( up and down the coast, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, ) and connected with an ostomy group in Queensland. Actually met someone else on line, from Papua New Gunea, and brought a suitcase of supplies to Oz, which were then shipped to her in PNG. She started an ostomy assoc. there, and goes into t he bush, and to smalll towns to help others. Look her up on Face book. Janet Yaki. She does good work. Enjoy your travels. Hope to get back to Oz. this year. Marsha
