Should my husband go ahead with a colectomy?

Thank you. The colectomy was recommended in June 2021 after finding LGD. His last colonoscopy was July 2023 where nothing adverse was found. He's due to have the whole colon removed as the UC has affected it all. Just seems very drastic prophylaxis. When you say it was a life changer for you, I guess you mean in a positive way.

I consider the changes quite negative, but it had to be done to potentially save me from a rupture, so I guess positive on that level.
