colon removal
So my cousin (my mother's sister's daughter) is still in the hospital after a month and is getting worse and not better. She has colitis. Her gastro doctor has recommended that she have her colon removed. Her primary care physician is against the removal. She is torn with this decision. She is 24 years old, just graduated college and has just started her first full time job. Luckily she has insurance right now but probably not for long if she stays in the hospital like this.
This is now the fourth person in my family with either Crohns or Colitis. We think my sister and nephew have something going on as well. My nephew, who is three, has to have all of his teeth replaced because they have rotted from all of his vomiting and gagging.
Anyway, some advice for my cousin?
