Lynch Syndrome & Colon Cancer

Posted by candacesusan1958 @candacesusan1958, Feb 24, 2023

Good morning, Iew to this discussion platform. Going thru the diagnostic testing for colon cancer. I'm a prime candidate as both brothers passed from colon/liver cancer. As well, my father.
My colonoscopy got rescheduled due to a major blizzard....so I'm left to wonder and worry ...I had uterine cancer in 2016.....so ...
The misery of gas, catapulting to the bathroom, extreme fatigue, and a new development of abdominal pain are quite distressing.
So far, no sign of blood, but I have developed a sever B12 deficiency. It may not directly be related to colon cancer....
Just feeling sick, alone, very isolated.
Thanks for listening 🙂

In reply to @mzkey78 "I was diagnosed in 2021 due to me having breast cancer and having genetic testing done..." + (show)

@mzkey78, welcome. Do you have to be extra vigilant with screening? Did other family members do genetic testing as a result of your finding you had Lynch?

They thought I had Lynch syndrome but after the biopsies ( sigmoid resection) came back clear, they never mentioned Lynch after that. I know how you feel because my surgery was postponed for 3 weeks. I had CIN 3 and had a partial hysterectomy. Then in 2013 a large meningioma removed from my brain. Lots of fun, lol. I hope you get rescheduled soon.
