[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 701378, member: 1550"] I am sorry your son has ulcerative colitis. I am aware of what it is. Is there a special reason he won't help himself have less pain? Why he won't see a gastroenterologist? Does he give you any explanation? Maybe having to go to the bathroom a lot or feeling gassy embarrasses him. That could be why he doesn't feel comfortable making g friends. I really feel badly for both of you. Of course, he is the only person who can legally get treatment for anything due to his age. I am positive you have always done the best you could. Sadly...we can't force them to do anything. Kudos to you for seventeen big years of sobriety. You are strong to be able to have achieved that. You are a hero. Please take each day at a time. Maybe your son will get sick of being sick and decide to seek treatment. As you know, and I THINK I know, only 10 percent of those with colitis get cancer. Yes, that's 10 percent too much and enough to scare us for sure, but there is a 90 percent chance it won't happen. Try to be good to yourself. You can't control your son but I do think one day he will decide he wants to feel better. Right now he is still so young... Big hugs. Keep posting. We care. [/QUOTE]
