I am 67 in I feel healthy have days with the j- pouch.... but I am blessed I didn't think I was going to see my children grown up well I am blesse cause I have three great grand daughters ... yes it may take me down but I haave lived longer then I thought I would So with the curse out of tree children two of my children have it ( Fap) And my one the boy has real bad issues with the desmoid tumors .. So we will all be strong together
