Rolf Benirschke and Great Comebacks – Thirty Years of Patient Support

Ostomy surgery can leave you feeling isolated, fearful or uncertain about the future. But it shouldn’t be that way. At Great Comebacks®, we’re here to tell everyone that life after surgery can be full – not of limitations, but of possibilities. We know that the words that often matter most come from those who have been there: Hear the words of Great Comebacks® Program founder Rolf Benirschke, who first shed light on living with an ostomy with his return to professional football after surgery, together with Great Comebacks® Recipients Michael Nash, Raysa Abreau, Charlie Grotevant, and Jude Ebbinghaus.
