After being diagnosed, Jennifer and Thrisha quickly realized a shocking truth—finding a doctor who is knowledgeable about Lynch Syndrome is extremely difficult. Both have encountered medical professionals who:
- Provided inaccurate information about proper screening protocols for Lynch Syndrome.
- Had to look up information about Lynch Syndrome during their appointments.
- Medical team is simply unfamiliar with the condition altogether.
This lack of awareness, even among healthcare professionals, is frightening. The knowledge gap in the medical community is putting lives at risk. That’s why Lynch Syndrome Awareness isn’t just about educating the public—it’s also about educating healthcare professionals.
