Hi Gabriel. Your medical history is so similar to someone I know. The treatment, the stage. He was told by a surgeon the same permanent ileostomy. He got a second opinion at Mayo and got the help of preserving the sphincter. To make the story short, he got the surgery with the ileostomy. After 3 month got the reversal. Now almost 2 month post surgery he is adjusting to the reversal and now feeling much better. Dr is Dr Young-Fadoc. I wish you the best. Keep looking for alternative.

@nildam, I'm tagging @gabriel74 to make they saw your post and the other helpful posts from fellow members.

Gabriel, how are you doing?

Thank you for your answer here. My son faces this now. He has not started treatment yet but maybe next week. He will be 51 end of month and he did have some issues before having the colonoscopy. We heard all the worse things that might happen during all this but we are hopeful that the treatment will save him from surgery.
