Reply to "J-pouch and prostate cancer"

Hey @sahbumnim! So sorry for your diagnosis! Trust you’re on a platform where you’re not alone!

My father was diagnosed at the end of June! After searching and being referred to numerous doctors, we found a few! The one we went to and had great success with was Dr. Jeffrey Karnes at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN!

When we spoke to him in August he admitted prostatectomies in J-Pouch patients weren’t all that common, but mentioned he had actually successfully performed 2 in the last 6 weeks (look at God’s timing!)! We knew right away this was our guy!

My father gets his updated PSA in 35 days or so (to confirm he’s cancer free), but we’re praying and claiming he is in fact cancer free now!
