Hi there, I am a young working married professional who has been living with the diagnosis of Familial Ademotous Polyposis (FAP) since I was 16 years old (I am now in my mid thirties). I have set up this blog as a way to help me through a couple of medical hurdles that I need to jump through... namely a two stage colectomy which will involved two surgeries within a year of each other with each surgery requiring seven to ten days in the hospital and two months off work. At the end of this while I will not have a colon I will have removed the biggest health risk of FAP: colon cancer. I also hope that my blog can offer help to others with FAP or other chronic health conditions.
