All,
I am a new member here. Thank you everyone and the moderators for the excellent resources available. My wife is having UC and was diagnosed as such in the year 2006. 6 to 7 stools per day.Initial colonoscopy done in Aug 2006( and biopsy ) graded as active phase lesion and negative for dysplasia. Started with Asacol 2400 mg with 40 mg of prednisolone tapered over a period of three months and was just on Asacol alone. No flare ups for next two years and hence we stopped Asacol for some time. Started it again on second flare up ( Jan 2009) and continuing it from then. We had a second child in Feb 2012 and she had a flare up again in July 2012 went back on Steroids ( 40 MG).
We did a second colonoscopy couple of days back and are awaitng biopsy results , wioll post it once available.
Colonoscopy results are as below.
Perenial Area : Normal
Digital Exam : Normal
Rectum: Normal
Sigmoid colon: Has Pseudopolyposis and nodularity suggesting dysplasia / Mitosis for 15 cms.
Transvers / Ascending / Cecum / Ileum : Normal
GI is suggesting that we go for colectomy because of pseudopolypoids and he is saying it will become cancerous in two years.
I expect feedback from other members. Thx in advance.
On Asacol 2400 mg and prednisolone 40 mg
