Spoke with my surgeon on the phone this morning, and he stated I have a colo-anal reconstruction, which is different than a J-pouch.
Thank God my bowels finally moved last night --I thought I was going to explode.
I'm now reading everybody's past posts about chemo, and I'm sure I'll have more questions then. Lots of stuff to absorb out there. I guess mine will start in the next few weeks --I don't even have an oncologist yet.
