Back in 2002 my mother, Juanita, was sent to University of Chicago for Dr. Michelassi to perform her colon surgery. His procedure would not require her to wear a colostomy bag. She did so well living up to 102 years of age. It was her heart not a cancer that brought her life to its end. Thank you Dr. Michelassi for giving us so much time with our mother. God Bless You!
