I got diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer at 33. Got genetic testing and the counselor really seemed to think it would come back positive for lynch. It came back negative - no mutations found. I’m taking results to md Anderson genetic counselor this week. Just surprised as I had prepared myself for a pos lynch result. This greatly affects my surgery - as in if my ovaries would come out and push me into early menopause. Any females tested neg for gene mutation and still opted for removal of ovaries??
I will of course be talking this over this week with my team at md Anderson but thought I’d ask in here. Ty
