Synopsis

This classic book, first published in 1997, provides comprehensive and sympathetic coverage of a distressing subject. Every year many thousands of people have a stoma - colostomy and ileostomy are the commonest types. But, while the surgery may be life-saving, the results can be hard to adjust to. Professor White explains in clear, straightforward terms all aspects of living with a stoma, including ways to make you feel more comfortable with it, overcome embarrassment, and get the best support.
