Once she retired, she joined the Ostomy Association of India and started helping patients with stoma bags. She is the primary nurse aid for the Ostomy Association of India. Sister Maria says once the patient comes to know about cancer, they go into a denial stage. Still, as we give proper motivation and counselling, they get adjusted to the situation soon.
