Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 7 Send Message	i found out through genetic testing that i have the above gene mutation - with the help of the Centre for Life - i now know that a lot of the smaller villages in county durham were studied as to why the rise certain cancers and my family were part of this study in West Cornforth but the family also had links with bracepeth ,langley ,esh and quarrington hill where ancesters with this lynch syndrome also came from. I just wondered if anyone on here is from these areas and also have lynch syndrome.

We often tell people who ask if anyone knows of a specific person that it is very unlikely that their request would be spotted. I’m afraid the same goes for you. Would you not be better off contacting local papers or asking Macmillan if there is a support group? I wish you well.
