Ostomy sites (thanx 2 Tlaloc for these)

http://www2.wwonline.com/ostotor/wwwboard.html - Large quantities of links to ostomy answers.
... quite a lot of helpful tips, and some rather cheering information.

alt.support.ostomy - is good, straight to the point and supportive Community feeling. Recommended.

alt.support.cancer - seems to be more spam afflicted and more loony ridden. Maybe I hit it on a bad day though, some good stuff, and a community exists. Worth a look, but be prepared to wade, I think.

http://www.ostomy.fsnet.co.uk/chat.html - is a java link to a ostomy support IRC channel.
Ie you can talk real time, probably better to have MIRC and use that, but this will do in a pinch. Well integrated.

If you have MIRc try #ostomyland

http://www.bcass.org.uk/colostomy-sites.htm - Good links. feel good, kind.

Other stuff may be added ... eventually
