    Hi 

    Is this a K Pouch? I have never heard of it before but very interesting? I thought I would just clarify to make sure readers know and can hopefully answer you ! I also wondered if some information would be available on a colitis forum as it mentioned them in the information. Just a thought ! I take it your thinking of going down that route ?

    Certainly I think it would be good to know more about it ! 

    Take care ,

    Hi court glad to hear your mum is on the mend .yes thinking about it had 9 oops chemo radiation and Papillion treatment  and it keeps coming back .Do not want a colostomy bag so figure this is the next best thing but am looking for advice .I’ve had bowel cancer for three years 12x16 inch tumour which has now grown into my uterus so figure let’s cut it all out and fingers crossed it won’t return .

    fhanks for answering my message will check out the other sites .I now know more about bowel cancer than most spend my life looking at new treatments but not allot of info out there on K pouches as only 1 hospital in Britain actually do it .

    kind regards

  • Hi 

    She is doing well again thank you for your concern !

    I had honestly never heard of it before !  My friends sister has. j pouch for colitis but it is interesting to read of the information you have given and I can see why you want to explore it !

    You have had a lot of treatment yourself so can understand the need to find a more permanent solution . I would certainly be interested to find out more so please do keep us informed. It would be good to know how people manage with it after the initial period of adjustments. 

    Take care ,
