Reply to "Elective surgery??"

Mine was certainly elective. 

Yes I had flares. Remicade along with everything else quit working. I was so exhausted after an eight hour shift I collapsed in the bed after work most nights. 

And being a man prostate cancer was a possibility being that my uc was right at the end of my colon and I had had it so long. Hard to believe my uc affected such a small part and caused so many problems. But it did. 

So in my mind I elected to have the surgery to avoid cancer first and get rid of the uc that was making me so sick. 

In my case it was elective. Although I mentally and physically couldn't go on with it much longer had I not had the surgery.
