Hello everyone,
It’s been about 4 years since my mom passed away and I last logged on. It’s nice to see familiar names and it saddens me to see new ones.
Im back on since my 24 year old cousin was diagnosed with colon cancer. The process has been devastatingly slow to get her initial scan, bloodwork, genetic testing, etc. At this point my mom didn’t have lynch syndrome, neither did my grandpa. I guess I’m just wondering if anyone has read any research on uncommon genetic mutations that have come to light lately?
I’m the same age as my cousin and I’m concerned for my family. It’s exhausting to have to go through the journey again but I don’t want to lose anyone else again from this disease.
Thanks for being here everyone.
Unknown mutations or less common?
