Whatever the ostomy, whatever the reason, be it IBD, cancer, trauma, etc, you are welcome to come and chat. Why not come and join us even if you don't have an ostomy but may be looking at one in the future. We're there to answer all your questions.
8pm UK Time (GMT) - see below for time zone comparison.
WebTV users can now access the chat too!!!

To join in this week's chat please go to http://www.ostomates.org/chat.html where you will find the java chat program and details of how to find us using mIRC (there's even a specially configured IRC programme to download that will get you straight into the chat - much stabler and easier than the java version). Enter your name where asked, click the connect button and you will be taken to the channel. If it asks you to download anything, do so and follow the instructions.
