ostomy therapist
Description
An ostomy therapist helps you learn to care for and live with an ostomy. An ostomy is a
surgical procedure to create an opening from an area inside the body to the outside.
People with cancer may need an ostomy if an opening or passage in the body is blocked by
a tumour or changed by cancer treatment. A
tracheostomy ,
a
colostomy
and a
urostomy
are examples of an ostomy.
