Hmmmmm..food for thought huh. I think i shall contact my Uro group...i'm due to see them on the l7th..and ask them how to go about setting up a BLC support group. Hey maybe it could be that easy? They probably wouldn't want me to be in it as i have the Indiana Pouch and noone does that here and i'd send them somewhere else!!

Pat,

Thanks for sharing. I hope I live long enough to see these types of organizations spring up all over the map. Makes me wish I lived in Inndiapolis. Actually I lived there once upon a time for a few months in my early 20's attending a military journalism school. My, how the years fly!

Dr. Koch, inventor of the Koch pouch will be speaking. I'm so glad to hear of a support group that will have regular meetings. Cinti is only about l l/2 hrs from Indianapolis and actually from Chicago its about 2 l/2 hrs.
