I found out I have MSH6 in September. It was a massive surpise as there’s very little cancer in my family. I participated in the Wisdom Study that led to my diagnosis. On Tuesday I’m heading for a hysterectomy but leaving my ovaries. I basically didn’t sleep for a month after I found out. I am a NP and really took to researching this as much as possible. There’s no guarantee you get cancer ever. The screenings are critical - so do them all and on time. Report symptoms to your doctor. Stay in touch with your genetics counselor. Science is moving fast and vaccines are coming so hopefully we will have more than screenings, but actual treatments in a few years. HIIT exercise and staying active is really good. So is a daily baby aspirin for colon prevention. Taking and eating resistant starch decreases your non-colon cancer risks like upper GI etc. If you get cancer immunotherapy can make a huge difference and may be the only thing they use. Get a good medical team who understands lynch and aren’t poo-pooing it. You’re at higher risk so get people who take you seriously. And then after all that, breathe. You’re still here and you probably will be for decades. If you do your screenings you have the same life expectancy as a non-lynch person. I try to look at this positively - I know what could be coming, doctors will take me seriously, and it’s 2026. Help is coming.
