“There are two things I want people to know. Firstly, the understanding about LS at all the different touch points in the NHS is amazing. Secondly, having LS isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I have the MSH2 variant. It’s not great to know all the associated risks, but it gives me the opportunity to better both my and my family’s future chances. It’s a blessing in disguise to discover this.”
“When we found out, we spoke with other family members as I felt that I needed to let them know. Some of my relatives came forward and got themselves tested to see if they could make the same informed decisions; others didn’t.”
Having this knowledge has enabled me to make decisions about my life.
