I have also been told that I I’ll need colorectal surgery - and I’m inclined to take that option. However, my surgeon has decided that it’s best that I wait. It’s quite confusing.

Waiting is a good idea and getting a second or third opinion, is also good.
Sometimes if you wait to have surgery, you give your body time to heal. The surgery is less likely to require an ostomy bag and not as difficult.
I waited 8 weeks

I always get a second and third doctor opinion before I do anything serious to myself. I never tell the 2nd nor the 3rd doctor what another doctor has said. They always just agree with what you tell them seems to me. My experience!
