    Hi Tracy

    I am currently going through genetic testing for lynch syndrome.  I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in August last year and am being tested due to my age  (50) and family history of other cancers.  

    I guess i will wait to see if i have it and then make my decision about preventative surgery but agree with you that it is a scary thing.
