I finished chemo for womb cancer 4 weeks ago and this week received my bowel screening kit.  As my Mum died of bowel cancer and I'm still being assessed for Lynch Syndrome I wasted no time in doing it and getting it back in the post.  Fingers crossedFingers crossed it's OK.

  • Fingers crossed for you. Hope you are doing well following completion of chemo.

  • Hi Sbird

    I hope that you are starting to recover from the chemo. It can take a while. 

    Fingers crossed for the bowel screening.

  • Hi SBird

    Glad to hear that you have finished your Chemo hope your feeling ok after it , and hopefully the bowel screening will come back clear.  I was MHS6 deficient and am waiting to see genetics in August regarding if I have Lynch so although I am now clear of Cancer and 8 weeks post Brachytherapy I still don't feel that my journey is over until I get the results , when will you find out ? seems to be that different areas have different tests and time frames .

  • Thanks. I'm doing OK, still getting a bit of neuropathy. 

    I'm seeing my oncologist on Monday so will get the result of my recent CT scan.

  • Thanks Jane. I'm surprised how well I am feeling.

  • Thanks Linda. I got the initial results of the Lynch syndrome testing which came back as inconclusive so the genetics team have sent all my info/records to Guys hospital and apparently it can take up to 12 months. 

    I hope your genetic appointment goes well.
