Re: vasculiitis in colon?

Thank You Hope!

I'm trying not to give up, but it's difficult. I had an autoimmune disease in 2005 that shut down my body and nearly killed me but no one could figure out what it was, and now this "vasculitis" that killed my colon. It's worse than cancer because it's dead. If it attacks an organ it kills it, even the heart.

There must be a name for this or some rhyme or reason to when and where it attacks. My father died of a heart attack when he was 39, and now I'm thinking it could've been vasculitis that caused it, but I'll never know. It could be genetic. 

Maybe the pathology report will have the answers.

Thanks for your kind words and prayers. It's helping. I'm at peace. It will unfold as it will. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it now, so I'm going with the flow. My daughter is here for 2 weeks to help and friends have been great. 

If you have any GI problems get a colonoscopy!
