I woke up from a coma with a stoma – and found my life again

I now live with curiosity, confidence, and plenty of adventure along the way. That belief is what led me to start Pouch Pals, a support group for people aged 18-50 living with stomas. I was approached by a stoma nurse to start a group for people around my age. Often stoma surgery in younger people is done as an emergency. I didn’t know about Colostomy UK when I had my surgery, and I had no one to turn to who understood what I was going through. If I can be there for even one person so they don’t feel the same that’s great. We’re still to have the first meeting of the group and I have set up a website and Facebook page and group. Shauna at CUK is helping me get things set up.
