A member asked:

I'm a 34 yr old female. my 63 y/o mother has colon cancer. should i seek genetic testing? what are the pros/cons re: the genetic testing for me?

Screening yes: But not genetic testing, just having one family member is not an indication for genetic testing, how ever with that history you should have screening colonoscopy on regular basis. Good luck.
