We traveled 2 1/2 hours to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. It was so worth the trip! The surgeon we met with was extremely compassionate and put my mind to rest. He’s done many APR surgeries which was what we needed to hear. I am waiting for a cancellation to have a MRI and then I will move forward with the surgery. My fecal incontinence is so severe that I am welcoming a colostomy. I know there will be a period of adjustment, but I am ready. Please share your experience with APR surgery. I can use any and all advice.
