@jenmo, anus-sparing surgery may not be possible in your situation. If you would like to get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, start here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
I know you wish to avoid a colostomy and may not want to hear this right now. People live well with colostomy. It's an adjustment for sure. But it doesn't need to upend your lifestyle.
