You’re so kind, Helen. Thank you. It’s been challenging on our family.
I have lynch syndrome and have yearly exams and for some reason I thought I would get it as an older person.
I have same cancer as my mom but she was diagnosed in her late 60’s.
My younger sister has different cancer and no Lynch.
I’m very anxious about my upcoming appointment next Tuesday. I have many questions for my oncologist including HRT.
I’m hoping it will go well. I’m grateful to be here.

@angierivas1 That's so much to deal with. I learned about Lynch syndrome the year I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. I can see why you are so anxious about your appointment next Tuesday. Yes, how to deal with the symptoms you have after your hysterectomy considering there may be some contraindications. I hope that your oncologist spend the time with you that you need to figure out what options are available to you. This is not a 15 minute visit. Interestingly one time when I saw my primary care physician she told me that if I feel I need more time with her I should tell the scheduler I need a 30 minute visit and that will be scheduled. I didn't know that but it was much appreciated.

I will come back and check in with you next week. Will you take a close friend, spouse, or family member with you to your appointment?
