It’s been a while

[Gargamadua]

Hi guys,

it’s been a loooong time since I last came to the forums, the last few years have been pretty terrible and I fell of the wagon with gusto, short version is lost both parent inside of 6 months and been digging my way out of a bit of depression for about the last year or so, through this time control has been an afterthought.

I’ve been experiencing some other issues the last 18 months and have been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called FAP, as a result some time in the next few months I’ll be saying bye bye to my colon and (for want of a better description) rectum, as I have 100’s of polyps throughout my bowel which at some point is pretty much guaranteed cancer.

So it’s time to sort things out, I haver never fully got to grips with my control in the 13 years since diagnosis but things have to change, and quickly.

so apologies for what is essentially an I fell of the wagon post, but this time I hope I can finally develop some long term control and finally accept that I’m a diabetic and start to get grips with it.

Wow. Hug, optimistic and winner rolled into one. I can relate to your story in part. Lost both my parents in a few hours May 2013, not diagnosed D then but diet went haywire. T2 offical June 2015. Developed bladder cancer 2019 - clear atm. Nothing like your issues but hard enough. Lord knows how you are coping. Huge respect for opening up on here. Best wishes for the op and getting to grips with those changes as well as way of eating. Keep in touch and thinking and praying for you.

Wishing you well with the Op. FAP isn't that rare, I have MYH Associated Polyposis , my brother also - he needed whole colon removed since he left it too late before testing (he waited 10 yrs after I had tested +ve) he has a stoma bag. I know several with FAP who've had a reconstructed rectal pouch as well as others who kept it simple and went for the Stoma Bag either way people adapt to it.
