Living with FAP: My Life Story

Well since I was five yrs. Old, I had a malignant brain tumor, at age 19 i was diagnosed with thyroid disease, I had a small bowl rupture at age 26 yrs old. Then later on in my life, I had to go through Colonoscopies each time my Dr saw the scope x-rays , he told me that I had a ton polyps in my abdomen. That’s when I got my ostomy bag. I have what’s called FAP or you could call it Gardner syndrome. I have an older sister and a younger brother, well my parents were tested to see if they were genetic. Comes to find out that I was single geneticly , it was hard to understand why I had gone through so much as a child to a young lady all my life, it sounded like every time I turned around something bad or hard was happening in my life. Now at this moment I feel tired all day every day, I have severe pain in my abdomen, major migraines , and a whole lot more.
