    Additionally we want to make you aware of UM's Ostomy Support Group and their monthly webminars. This month the topic is "Tips for Traveling with an Ostomy". The first Tuesday of each month UM will host a webminar in English and will also host one in Spanish the third Tuesday of the month.

    Today's episode is a bit longer as we discuss the last biologic, Estilara, the results and time for the next step.
