I’d like to know if it is at all possible to get colorectal cancer, years after having an ileostomy done?
I was diagnosed with Gardners Syndrome at 17. I am now 25, and was wondering if you can still get rectal cancer after an ileostomy procedure. My father died of rectal cancer after this procedure and I’m experiencing some discomfort in that region is why I’m asking.

this is a scary situation for you. and i’m so sorry that you are going through it. i am hear to tell you that noone on this website can really answer your question. you need to go to a doctor. preferably one that you have gone to with your Gardners. but if not,just be sure you disclose evrything to the new one. good luck, i’ll be thinking about you.
you are in my prayers. the only thing that I can tell you is to go to a doctor and have yourself checked out Please. If cancer runs in your family then it’s best to be safe then sorry later. Please Please see a doctor.
