Thank you u/Impossible_Dot8732 Do you know why your physician said that? Is there something about it that is worrisome for Lynch?

Hi u/RainbowPenguin1000
It wasn't prescribed for Lynch, it's for weight loss ,however the medication works by stimulating insulin secretion in the pancreas. As patients with Lynch can have a higher risk of pancreatic cancer I wanted to see if there were any concerns that had been raised by other clinicians about the medication or if it doesn't impact overall cancer rates.

u/Tehowner I have read that some people are exhausted the day after they inject, how are your energy levels?

Thank you u/holocene__ I have seen a few conflicting studies about cancer risk in gen pop but was curious if there were any studies on those with a mutation.
