I was wondering do kock pouches need regular surveillance like j-pouches? It doesn't sound like any of you get scoped regularly, is that just because of the lack of surgeons who are familiar with the kock or is it just not necessary?
I was told every other year in 2001 since they found a polyp in my kock pouch. I no longer have coverage for the Mayo Clinic like I did when I was working so I can't afford to go back there. The Mayo Clinic is using my medical records for studies on the Kock Pouch too since 1978.

I told the truth, I stood my ground...one against an International Corporation with money and power. I am proud I tried to right a wrong (an illegal wrong) done to me with such impossible odds. I appreciate the courageous attorney who stood beside me, believed in me and saw it through to the end.
A miracle*, an angel*, my granddaughter *Jada Lynn*. You have taught me so much in so little time. A precious gift from God.
