I had my colon, rectum, and anus removed due to a diagnosis of FAP, but now they are saying that I have hundreds of polyps in my duodenum.
Is there anyone else on here who has FAP and any problems with their duodenum? I'm trying to figure out my options, but the surgeon I spoke to seemed clueless when I mentioned the PSD surgery over a Whipple. It was rather frightening to see that I might know more than a surgeon. But thankfully, I am not opposed to traveling elsewhere to get an informed 2nd or even 3rd opinion. (laughs)
