What to expect

[HereNowWhat]

4years post rectal cancer surgeries now large intestine will b removed the 19th. Not due to cancer I've been sitting in the dark about this. So my question what's going to happen to me. There is so much on line I can't focus. Simply please anyone?

Ten years ago in 2004 I underwent a total colectomy following torrential diverticular bleeding.  In response to another Medhelp patient's posting I summarised my own experience on:-

You might like to take a look at this and do feel free to come back if you have any questions.  Maybe you might like to print off my posting and show it to your G.I. surgeon to see if he/she agrees.
