is there an alternative treatment for familial polyposis?
My sister died of colorectal cancer 6 years ago, last month her two sons was diagnose with familial polyposis, one of them the biopsy came out as malignant already. The only treatment for this we were told is to removed the colon and be on a colostomy for the rest of their lives, but they are still so young, 29 and 28 years old, no wife nor kids.

You really don’t want to screw around with alternative treatments when you son’s lives could be at risk, familial polyposis can lead to colon cancer. Once colon cancer metastasize it becomes very difficult to treat. I had an opportunity of taking care of a gentleman who went the alternative route and it was not a good ending.
I Have taken care of young men who had to have this procedure done and thankfully I have not had to see them again (cancer free).
Sorry, I’m not trying to be an a-hole. I work with people who are fighting cancer every day.
