Lynch Syndrome MSH6

Feb 19, 2018

By: UkEllie

Year Condition Began: 2014


I found out in 2014 that I had lynch syndrome by chance. I was found to have womb cancer but thankfully it was early stages and a full hysterectomy removed all the cancer. After speaking to the doctor about it all afterwards i mentioned that my sister was also going through the same thing as myself, and I had also heard that years ago my mother had also had similar treatment. My doctor then told me that the information I had just given him (without thinking) was enough for him to send me to the genetics clinic for testing for Lynch Syndrome. and guess what.. I have it... and so do all my other 5 sisters... and one of our kids too. So we are now all getting screened every two years as per recommended for anyone with Lynch Syndrome.

Onwards and Upwards :)
