Hello, MissM. I had ulcerative colitis for decades, although in remission most of the time, and I did not take any medication for UC. I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. My colon was removed, and a j pouch was formed during the same surgery. Takedown was 3 months later. My j pouch functions very well, and I'm very happy with it. Do you have cancer concerns?

Yes, I do have cancer concerns. Although it has not been verified by pathologists, last weeks colonoscopy revealed 2 polyps that "looked" adenomatous. When I was coming out of the anesthesia, my dr was describing the J pouch to my husband. I'm wondering if I'm still going to have to have Remicade infusions if I have the J pouch surgery? My disease is in remission (because of Remicade) my last flare up was in 2013. It's just the adenomatous polyps.
