It's great for you guys to have other young people to talk to - no offense taken by this 54 year old! I remember being 20 and someone in their 50s was someone on another planet!!! Plus, so much has changed in terms of how surgery is now often done in one step etc. We all want to relate to our peer group - that never changes. Good luck to all young j pouchers and as the years go on - it will get better and better - and then one day, offspring will have the gene edited out or something and no more of this! Won't that be something! So proud of young people with a great attitude about this - I forget as I am getting a bit older and a bit crankier - but my positive attitude and youth carried me through and that's what you guys have too. I had bad days - but if it hadn't have been from FAP - it would have been something else - that's life. Good and bad, happy and sad, all mixed together. Going through FAP was in many ways a gift - it does teach you to appreciate the simplest things and to know how thankful to be for progress in medicine/surgery so we can live full lives. Best to all the young! We need you to keep this old world a spinning!
Your fresh ideas and new perspective are what keep things moving forward. Thanks!
