I've been considering surgery for awhile and this was really informative and gave me more confidence. I had my boyfriend listen to it as well since he never wants to talk about surgery with me, and while he didn't say anything after, I think it could at least have made him understand my decision a little. If you are having a hard time talking to someone in your life about surgery, have them listen to this webcast alone or with you; it really covers a lot of issues about UC, some that we might not even think about. It's great that a doctor is coming out and being honest about the risks of taking all these questionable medications long term that they nonchalantly put us on, and I think anyone with UC should at least think about surgery and understand it, just in case if you ever come to that point you will go in feeling a lot more confident and a lot less emotionally scarred!! Reading Mark's blog and listening to this webcast will definitely help. Just to add… I’ve been considering surgery for awhile and this was really informative and gave me more confidence.

"It was an amazing webcast. I have never listened to or participated in a webcast and this was a real eye opener. They really touch on everything Colitis related. They answer lots of questions right down to how u might feel the day after surgery.. and the days afterwards.. etc etc etc. Its truly a good listen. :O) Thanks got the info Mark.. your blog is great, I love the picture diary and the link to this webcast was also GREAT. :O) Thank you soooo much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jenn 26/female Ulcerative PANCOLITIS diagnosed 2004" EdieKristen said: "I was finally able to listen to this and it was great.
