Yup, CHEK2 and Lynch Syndrome MSH6. I’ve played wack-a-mo with my 4 cancers. I advocate for myself and have caught all them at an early stage.

@wwbosworth
What 4 cancers did you have and when?
I am glad you caught them all early!

When I first found out that I had two genetic mutations, I read a post from a 74 year old man who had had seven cancers. In a weird way it made me hopeful. I realized that cancer is not a death sentence and we can live a normal life span, which was verified by my oncologist. We do, however, need to be vigilant.
