I have a new friend I am trying to help who is getting a J-Pouch in July 2007. She only speaks/writes a tiny bit in English. I have a J-Pouch but don't speak Spanish. She needs support from Spanish speaking J-Pouchers. CahillandDelene@aol.com Help please! Thanks! Delene

If you dont get much luck on this site (Which I am sure you will), my advice would be to contact CCFA. Explain your situation and there is a good chance that the person who answers the phone will know of a Jpoucher who speaks Spanish.

Southern Florida has many spanish speakers, so the Florida chapter would be a good bet. I am sure the volunterr who answers the phone will be more than willing to help you.

Delene,

patufranco@hotmail.com

hope i can be of help.

Delene,

I speak some Spanish but it has been awhile and I'm not entirely fluent. I may or may not be able to help because my vocabulary on medical terms is a bit limited.

However, there are many computer tools that can be used for translating and several of them work very well. I would be happy to communicate by email and with help of the translator program with whomever the friend is.
