Reply to "Hysterectomy and J-Pouch Functioning"

JoanneMember

Thank you, Mary. My GI doc, Bo Shen, formerly from CCF and now in NYC at Columbia Presbyterian has cautioned me that there are instances where women with a J-Pouch who get a hysterectomy have serious problems with their pouch after that surgery. I am 76 years old and have had my pouch for 21 years. I have CLL, a blood cancer that makes me vulnerable to secondary cancers and the gynecological surgeon is recommending a hysterectomy since I am have some problems with my uterus. Your situation is very encouraging. Thank you again for responding to my question. Take care.
