Breaking News
This just in, Andy only had one polyp! So, that means no FAP. We will hear in one week if it is benign or precancerous. But I am just so happy I'm not sharing this gene, that I am being selfish and hogging it all to myself.

Hi Steph, Thanks for the "breaking news" glad to hear about Andy your "baby brother". Please don't feel that you need to send me a thank you card, your thank you on the blog is enough for me! Anyway, your Dad is retired - he can do some writing for you!!! ha,ha, ha Keep on walking....and eating! Love, Aunt Paula
Great news on Andy! Question: Is there a way to tell if he has the gene but that it is dormant in him? In other words, could he pass it along to children without actually having the disease himself? Take advantage of that great lakeside atmosphere - great place to rejuvenate the body and the soul (besides nothing feels better than being spoiled by Mom and Dad!!) Love ya, Aunt Jay
My name is Steph. At the age of 29 I was diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). This blog is my journey through life with this disease.
I hope to use this blog to provide a way for friends and family to know what I am going through both mentally and physically. I also hope to provide a place for others w/ this disease to see that they are not alone.
