Hi - just want to be sure I was clear - I was recommending germline genetic testing. I’m including a link for more information.

And I’m so sorry that I can’t answer your gut-wrenching question. I’m not sure there’s any way to know. I think you have to go with your mom’s wishes.

I can’t post the actual link, but this may help:

Allow me to post it for you:

Msmarcy, you mention that you have Lynch syndrome. Has regular cancer screening detected any cancers for you or your children?
