Went to The Doc today

This one was a Geneticist. My Oncologist Surgeon recommended it. They interviewed me (the intern and Doc), about my family history and asked about cancers they had or if they had had cancer. Also their general health.

Then the Doc got down to why she was interested in my case. Apparently when they Looked closely at my cancer tumor they found that there were certain proteins that were missing. Then she spoke about Lynch Syndrome and that they wanted to analyze my unaffected tissue or blood for missing proteins.

If I am positive meaning they are missing. Next they will analyze My DNA. They want to know which side of my DNA is responsible... Moms side or Dads side. If its Dads side there is a 50 percent chance I passed it on to my son Dean.

Ok here is the skinny Lynch Syndrome is tagged for Cancer risk in other areas of the body. First most is Colon, Second Endometrium, Third is Stomach, Fourth is Ovary... There are six more but I don't fall in the population risk for them....

No matter the results they are going to order a colonoscopy of my colon and a endoscopy of my stomach. Looking for various things like polyps and cancer..... I made the comment about the tests "Wow at the same time? Do the scopes ever meet in the middle...." here comes my fear joking.... "Hey I see a light" The intern giggled.

If I am positive my son will have to be tested to see if he is positive as well and the recommendation is to do the same Colonoscopy and Endoscopy. Only not as often as I will which still doesn't make him a happy camper...

So my Journey continues.... All in all I am very happy I am in the hands of a research hospital.
