Somewhere, not too far away... John, a 41 year old man, presents at an annual physical two major complaints: right lower quadrant tenderness and a slight change in bowel habits Shortly, however, the diagnosis is confirmed: Familial Adenemotosis Polyposis (FAP)

DNA tests identify that the mutation is on Codon 1251. Fear, and hope, lead John to consult all of the experts he can find. John’s doctor, believing in collaboration, sends John all of the reports, makes a recommendation of surgery and solicits John’s preferences. John searches the Web, opts for surgery
