1.2. Keith, Rachel & Angelina: Dealing with Challenges as an Ostomate
•
Pelican Healthcare
Living with a stoma can make daily tasks daunting, such as using public toilets, due to the general lack of understanding of invisible illnesses. In this episode, Keith, Rachel and Angelina share the challenges they've faced when using public toilets, and how the introduction of the #BeTheChange toilet signage will help overcome this.
We also learn more about Keith's stoma story as a bus driver, Rachel and her son Jake's journey living with Hirschsprung's disease, and Angelina's drive to set up her own ostomy fashion business, Aura Clothing.
