The one thing that is for sure, is that on this topic, we will all get different opinions based on the doctor that we ask. I was told that I was at a slightly higher risk of colon cancer, but that was it in terms of elevated risk for an additional cancer (besides a new bc primary). Thankfully no one is recommending that I 86 my colon.
