Dr. Gonzales(GI dr performing the colonoscopy) recommends a
colostomy. There is a sinus tract that is allowing air and other stuff
to pass through. It sounds like the fistula is basically still there.
He said some day they may be able to operate, but as of right now the
risk is not worth it. The tissue looks a lot better then it use to, not
as swollen, which I wonder if that's because he has been on ibuprofen.
Dr. said if it was him then there would be no hesitation in getting a
colostomy. He is supposed to follow up with Dr. Foley(surgeon). Dr.
Foley was also present for the Colonoscopy.
As of right now Travis' pain is so severe and the quality of life is diminishing and so a Colostomy is better than this.
They did not biopsy anything because there were no ulceration or mass effect, which is awesome! No visible cancer!
