Suggest Treatment For Rectal Stump With Colitis

I had a iliostomy about 16 years ago. They left the rectal stump on but since then i have found out that the stump has colitis in it so i wont be able to reconect. The worry i have is the doctor told me 16 years ago that i would need my stump removed as it is slowly dying and there would be a high risk of developing cancer in the stump and anus.please help as i am worried that i still have this stump after 16 years. Kind regards Paul.
