I have been diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome which is a genetic disorder that causes all kinds of cancer. Mostly colon cancer. I have active skin cancer which has been removed. I have to have colonoscopy every year and endoscopy every other year. I’m looking forward to meeting you!!!

Managing regular cancer screenings can feel overwhelming, but many community members have found that creating a routine and connecting with others who understand this experience helps make it more manageable. The proactive approach with annual colonoscopies and regular endoscopies, while challenging, is an important part of staying ahead of potential issues - and having a supportive community to share experiences and coping strategies with can make all the difference.
