I tend to agree - Crohn's and UC are flipsides of the same coin; IBD is IBD and many of the treatments and symptoms overlap. Mine just happened to be treated by obliterating the colon. Heh.
Interestingly my father has, and is a carrier of, hemochromatosis. Given that I have IBD my iron has always been low. So I may have lucked out of the hem lottery in the weirdest way.
Sorry to hear about your thyroid cancer, I've been here only sporadically the last couple of years. I didn't know. Hope you are doing well!
That said, I don't have my wisdom teeth, so there you go.
