Following my ovarian cancer diagnosis back in Sept 14, I was referred for genetic testing as one of my brothers had had a bowel cancer diagnosis in his early 40's. Turns out we have Lynch Syndrome in our family and this increases our chances of developing certain cancers, ovarian being one of these. I have five siblings and only one of them does not have the faulty gene. My mum also tested positive. Has anyone else had a diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome?
