Living with a Stoma

by Craig A. White

Every year many thousands of people have a stoma -- colostomy and ileostomy are the commonest types. For those who have them the surgery is life-saving, but they can be hard to adjust to, and even though no-one may know you have a stoma it can make you feel self-conscious. Dr White explains in clear, straightforward terms all aspects of living with a stoma, including ways to make you feel more comfortable with it. The book will help you overcome any embarrassment you may feel in talking to doctors, to get the best possible support.
