There is a local ostomy support group which meets next sunday Linda and I plan to attend, hopefully Michael will go with us as the main focus right now is with the ostomy and how to deal with it. The local ACS has already offered help with problems associated with the cancer and has given us some help with buying groceries in the form of gift cards to Safeway market. We'll find out through them about support groups and also look to the group suggested by Don. This amount of stress is terribly unhealthy for us all and needs to be brought under control and we can't seem to do that ourselves as every attempt to address it turns into a shouting match.
