Receiving genetic testing results can bring up many emotions and decisions to consider. Lynch syndrome diagnosis often leads to discussions about risk-reducing surgeries with healthcare teams. Many community members have shared similar experiences with genetic testing and the choices that follow, so connecting with others who understand this journey can be really valuable.
