Thank you. I have Lynch and always find any info. such as you gave to be helpful. I would like to hear from other people with Lynch. It feels quite lonely because you don't hear about too many with the genetic disorder...other than family.

Well done! Thank you Paul.

Thank you! I shall meet with my primary care M.D. to discuss the timing of my next colonoscopy. Excellent presentation!

REPLY

Informative presentation: did not answer one question I have often heard posed. Are there any symptoms that would indicate the presence of colon cancer. Changes in bowel habits? Gastric disturbance>

I'm 79 years old. Both of my parents had CRC and my mother died of it at 82. At my last colonoscopy, I was told that because I was over 75, I didn't need any more screenings. I don't understand his reasoning. Please comment.
