Reconnection

My doctor scoped me this week and said I was ready to reconnect after almost two years since my colon was removed because of colitis/crohns. My question is whether it’s worth doing. Reconnection would lose the pouch but subject me to the potential for increased fistulas and strictures. I’m taking Skyrizi, which increases the chances for cancer and infection. I’ve quit smoking six times and every time the colitis/Crohn’s comes back with vengeance so I’d be hesitant to try to quit again. If I have everything removed, all of those questions disappear. Such a tough decision. Anyone else face anything similar? I’d love to hear from you. Greg
