The worst symptoms of FAP are blood in the stool abd pain of abdomen.
Blood in the stool was my first simptom, and about two years after my first simptom i felt pain in my abdomen.

The fear of adenocarcinoma and more major surgeries. The effect of it all on my significant others is a massive worry. For me, this disease has ledcto me having over three quarters of my GI tract removed, leading to extensive adhesions, hermias, fistulae...I now have a TPN feeding line and short bowel syndrome.

The chance of cancer is probably the scariest symptom. The most painful is the IBS and other gastrointestinal problems. Osteomas can be another painful, but benign symptom of FAP.

For my son it has been bleeding from polyps. But we have not dealt we th so many symptoms that others have. I wouldn't say cancer is a symptom, but of course it's the worst. There can be so many problems with decreased nutrient absorption, nausea, diarrhea and none of this gets better with "treatment" to remove more organs and tissue to help prevent cancer.
