Born with HD in 1956, had a Swenson Pull through procedure at 6 months of age, (no ostomy), and am still going strong. Have had a full life...5 years as a soldier in the US Army, 4 years in the US Airforce, 29 years as a National Park Ranger. Avoided contact sports, but otherwise have led a very physically and socially active life. No need to let HD hold you back.

If they have the surgery, much better chance of survival. Then only 5-10% mortality rate. Most common complications and risk is enterocolitis.
