Going back to your first post which asked what sort of questions you should be asking. Everyone has given great advice about getting second opinions and giving you some idea of what to expect from the OC aspect but I don't see any advice around (or missed) addressing the Crohns disease.
My question to the doctors if I were in your wife's shoes would be to ask how treatment would affect her Crohns. I am thinking specifially of chemotherapy which affects the whole body - including the entire gastro-intestinal tract. Make sure your oncologists don't forget they need to take this into account when recommending treatment.
Good luck and let us know what you and your wife decide
