Thank you for your reply. What is the benefit of genetic screening for this? It already seems apparent I am at high risk for cancer and need more active surveillance (i.e. more frequent colonoscopies). I already intend to warn my sibling to ensure they’re getting screened.

Perhaps your doctor will not feel it necessary at this stage of your treatment.
