Thank you for your video. I’m living in Germany and for 1 week I’ve been diagnosed with lynch syndrome and many doctors don’t know what it is. I hope I will never get cancer 🙏🏽

I'm wondering what kind of risk one has when they have homozygous mutations of all 5 of these genes, as I recently found out this is what I have. I can look at risk individualls with that ask2me website, but I'm not sure how they all combine. I am a male, and sadly also have brca1 and brca 2 homozygous as well.

I have Lynch Syndrome. It was diagnosed after I had had a high red count (I still do), and had a small cancer cell on my right kidney. All i know about it is that they called it "renal cancer". My granny & 1 of her sisters both died after renal cancer fights. My father had kidney & bladder cancer. They didnt diagnose him till his kidney cancer was in stage 4. So i took the genetic test. I do carry Lynch Syndrome according to my drs. I'm not finding ANYTHING on my condition. I have had complete hysterectomy, I have upper & lower gi's every year. BUT, information about my condition is really hard to find. Can you help?
