I never really understood the expense of medical or ostomy supplies and medications before becoming ill with cancer in 2014, When I was first diagnosed, I wasn’t working and had to cash in any savings, and I had to support myself, which only lasted so long. After that, my family had to step in, and I’m forever grateful for their help financially, as I don’t know what I would have done otherwise. As time passed, I met other people with medical conditions and discovered how many Canadians were in the same financial hardship predicament: single people, people with children, people with no support ..read more

Health Canada reports that common side effects of the ..read more

Over the years, I’ve tried pretty much all I could.  Samples of bags, rings, sprays, wipes and more.  It fel ..read more
