2 years ago I was diagnosed with F.A.P. (familial adenomatous polyposis). I had hundreds of pre-cancerous polyps throughout my large intestine, along with 3 tumors. The doctors were surprised because I have a rare health condition. 2 weeks later I was scheduled as a priority for a major (7hr) surgery. I was told it can turn into cancer any minute so I didn’t really have a choice. It was either a life or death type of risk. I was not ready at all, I cried everyday up til my surgery room. I had atleast 30 family members that showed up in the waiting room prior to my surgery, supporting me. Doctors warned me that my relationship might not work out because it’s too much to handle for my other half. They told me that three other young adults with my situation in the previous years didn’t last with their relationships.
