Webinar - Talking Stoma on World Ostomy Day

#CANSAcares #CANSAStomaCare

If you have a stoma or knows someone who does, then this webinar is for you!

We know that it can take a while for a cancer patient to adapt to living with a stoma, this is not an easy process, and it impacts family caregivers too.

With this in mind, we have arranged a Stoma Webinar which will take place on Saturday, 2 October 2021 (World Ostomy Day) from 9:00 to 10:30 discussing CANSA’s core stoma support offerings and Tele Stoma counselling, and asking experts to share on topics such as appropriate care, support, ostomy underwear, nutrition and intimacy issues.
