Talking to family

It is important to tell your family about your Lynch diagnosis so that they can learn about genetic testing, cancer screening and other ways to lower the chance of developing cancer. However, it is not always easy to talk to family members. Your genetics team can help you by explaining who needs to be informed and suggesting strategies for sharing information. You can read more about talking to family in The Royal Marsden Beginner's Guide to Lynch Syndrome here.
