New to the CC World

Postby inder_muc » Mon May 22, 2017 10:03 am

Hi, I have been lurking this forum for sometime and would like to introduce myself.
I was diagnosed with colon cancer Stage 2A in August 2016 and was operated immediately. My path results came as T3N0M0. Presently under surveillance and I am lynch positive as well. I was 38 at the time of diagnosis.
My diagnosis especially lynch was a great shock to me. Reading this forum gives me a lot of courage to fight this menace.
Now back to work and enjoying my life with 2 beautiful daughters.

Cheers

Lynch is pretty rare, according to my onc. Congrats on winning the reverse lottery! (Sorry for the dark humor.) I am currently waiting on my Lynch testing.

A positive from your diagnosis, which I am sorry that you must experience, is the fact your lovely children can receive testing and surveillance that may help them avoid the issues you face.

Keep fighting and good wishes for your future.
