I was recently diagnosed with this and now my doctor wants me to get genetic testing done. Why is this needed if my dad had FAP? Wouldn't it mean that since I have this that I must carry the gene? What would that have to do with my treatment? Speaking of which what is the treatment? He told me that I need to remove my entire colon or I will get colon cancer but that was when he thought that I had FAP. I'm confused. I don't know what to do..Can anyone help or give me advice????
