Doubts About Treatment
June 15, 2009People email me everyday with doubts about treatment options. Sometimes the doubts are about the effects of medicine long term, sometimes they are about living with an ileostomy, and sometimes they are about living with a J-pouch.
And doubts are good! Doubts are to be encouraged. If you doubt something it shows that you care about it.
Just don’t let your doubts paralyze you into inaction.
Keep fighting,
~Dennis

Hi Dennis, Thank you once again for posting an inspirational video, I felt like you made this one especially for me. I have told you before that I am terrified of the outcome of my j-pouch surgery (first surgery next week, June 23rd), I am not well, but I am not a train wreck either, so voluntarily undergoing this surgery and going through hell for a while is overwhelming for me. And then to go through the takedown and hope that all will be well with that too! What a long road ahead without a written guarantee! You seem to be doing so well, I am so happy for that and I am also more grateful than you know for all your many videos that you have placed on here. Thank you Dennis :)
Sincerely,
Elise
