Hi 
..
I lost my Daddy back in 2017 I was 18 years old he had bowel cancer from his early 20s got his bowel removed and had a stoma, then was diagnosed with other cancers until he lost his life at 45 years old . shortly after it was suggested that I get tested for “MSH2 Pathogenic variant gene “ because my dad and granny both had this. My granny died from ovarian cancer at 47.
after thinking about getting tested and putting it off for a whole 2 years I finally decided to get tested at 20 years old , just before I received my results I found out I was pregnant. so whenever I found out I had the gene I was around 12 weeks pregnant, along with the shock of being pregnant and then the shock of recovering the news of the gene to say I was anxious was an understatement. I guess as the pregnancy went on it took my mind off it a bit and was pushed to the side, I had my baby boy in may 2020 so he’s now nearly 1, I’m starting to really worry about my life I want to be here for my baby growing up, I want to have more children. Due to covid I’ve had really no medical support , I guess I was told my result and then nothing more from that other than a “FIT” test that came in the post before Christmas and I still haven’t received the results, even though I did have blood in my stool at the time. I keep thinking did my test get lost? Did they receive it? Or was it all good and that’s why I didn’t get my results back? I have social anxiety so ringing the hospital for my results that was meant to be back months ago I guess is just too overwhelming for me.
im 21 years old now, I’ve been thinking recently about cancer prevention. Will I be offered to get my large bowel reproved? Or my reproductive system removed as in ovaries etc . Will I be classified as “too young” even though I’m high risk?
my head feels like it’s about to explode with anxiety and thinking about all this.
