[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family has the Lynch gene also known as HNPCC. If this gene is what's making OP high risk - I would say that only 1 person in my family actually had colon cancer. Most had multiple other types of cancer so while it's good to focus on low to no processed foods and high fiber Mediterranean diet, you also want to make sure you keep on top of the rest of your body's systems - urinary, brain, reproductive esp if female, skin and full digestive track from top to bottom, especially. Also FWIW with Lynch, if you get cancer before you're 50, you'll die quickly of it - after 50 for the first cancer, you're more likely to survive them - it's oddly more protective after age 50, more likely to kill before age 50. That has held true in our family.[/quote] Do you know where someone might get tested to see if they have the lynch gene?[/quote]
