Hi Aimee,
short story: have had my j-pouch since 1996. I’m 55 now.
In May of 2106 though, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had a complete hysterectomy in August 2016. I’ve also had a lot of chemotherapy. I had my hysterectomy by robotic surgery. The good news is that everything went really well and my j-pouch has never been happier.
My colo-rectal surgeon was there in case she was needed for any complications, but there weren’t any.
My j-pouch had a really hard time with the chemo though. Sadly I’m having a reoccurrence now after 3 amazing cancer free years. Boo
Ask me anything. I’m here for you.
