Reply to "FAP -J Pouch pros cons and experiences"

My first colonoscopy at age 33 revealed a very limited number of polyps, which my GI removed.  Two years later, I had a repeat colonoscopy following a significant discharge of blood. There were now hundreds of polyps present, and any one of them could become malignant.  FAP can only be cured by having your colon removed.  I would definitely follow your surgeon’s recommendation regarding the urgency in having surgery.  If you have any doubts, you could get a second opinion.
