I am 62 and have FAP, Diagnosed in 1990, I have a J pouch. I have yearly endoscopies to look for polyps. Each year they find more but we are keeping on top of them. I will soon be swollening a camera to look for more in my small intestine. The problem with Fap is that cancer will show up in other parts of the body. I had a tumor cut out of the bile cut of my pancreas, it was pre=cancer and the specialist said it would have killed me in a couple of years. Tumors removed from my jaws 3 times, Eventually losing all my teeth. Mastist in my right breast off and on for ten years. In March 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast and had a mastectomy. I keep fighting. I will see this through and come out the other side. Have faith in yourself and the doctors treating you. Jackie Martin
