Spreading the word Susan Kingâs Lynch syndrome diagnosis came in 2013, about a decade after she had a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. One of her two sisters developed ovarian cancer and the other endometrial cancer, and all three learned they had Lynch. Their father died from colon cancer at age 74. King SUSAN KING King, a retired attorney who lives in Madison, is now 74 herself and doesnât have children. Sheâs not sure how many extended family members have been tested. To reduce her cancer risk, King has colonoscopies at least once a year, has endoscopies to check for stomach cancer, stays out of the sun and tries to eat well. She wishes more people were aware of Lynch and brings up the topic when she can.
