Reply to "Is there any hope for someone like me to not require a permanent ostomy?"

Amb,

Thanks for responding.

Maybe I could be a candidate for a mucosectomy even that the current jpouch with sigmoid colon intact and my own rectum have low grade dysplasia polyps



I obsess alot and require reassurance. I am hoping I have some time and can be survillienced and the dysplasia polyps removed despite my risk of cancer being greatly increased



Mentally im not ready at all for a surgery. The big would not suite my lifestyle what so ever.



I fear I'd wake up with the bag and no ileal pouch because something could happen in surgery

Temporary 3 months or so I could get my head around but I want control of when i empty either by way if getting a pouch or another shot at a jpouch

I read that chomoendoscopy gives good picture shots during scopes



Gi doc of 20 yrs didn't provide pictures but any dr be it at fox chase cancer or NY Columbia or John Hopkins would prob want to scope me and see themselves.

I will post back when I have answers/a clearer picture



Your response gives me hope I could get another shot at a pelvic pouch given I have low grade dysplasia and yours was high grade and you still came away with a pouch



Thanks again



Len
