Reply to "Diagnosed with Colon Cancer after 12 years of UC. Need immediate surgery"

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I had uc for 18 years. My colon ruptured and was removed Sept 2019, 3 step surgery with takedown Feb 2020. I've had pouchitis with the pouch and some struggles here and there but overall am so glad I went with the pouch. It is a personal choice, but in my opinion if the pouch doesn't work for you, you can always go back to the end ileostomy. Many people have no issues at all with the pouch. I'm 48 btw, so close to your age to go through this. I'm confident me gi doc will get me through the ups and downs. Hang in there!
