had my 16th...yes, 16th...colonoscopy today. the good news is everything looked mostly good. however, at the resection site, there are 3 ulcers. GI took biopsies. he said they looked not too bad and if i have not had such problems for so long he would not be worried. however, given the course of the disease, he wants to wait for the results, then talk to mayo clinic. the question is what do we do. is entyvio actually keeping this in a milder form? or i am just at the early stage again and things will progress which means entvio is not working. Mind you, i am 4 months out from my second resection so i started 4 months ago with all ulceration s removed and i am having other symptoms that entyvio will not help (joint pain for example). so, we wait for about 10 days to get a phone call to discuss next steps. next step would be stelara. GI has two patients on it and he said one it has dramatically helped and the other has not helped.
