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

MikeAZ…. I never had UC but was diagnosed with colon cancer 2years ago and also had to get it removed.  For me it was a scary journey.  I just had my 44th Bday and have had my jpouch just over a year.  What helped me the most was to just stay positive.  I did chemo first, then radiation, and finished with 2 step surgery. I had to have the temp bag for 4 months and was not a good experience for me.  The first few months were also hard but slowly it got better and better.  I am a poucher that does go over 12 times a day but is still better than that bag.  I have not had any pouchitis or any other issues. One thing I learned is that all of us are different and what works for me may not for you. I wish you the best on your journey and we are here to support you any way we can…
