Blondie73 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 What if your illness could not be cured and it was a deteriorating condition over time? People seem to say if it's curable then they would test but if not ignorance is bliss..... He ended up no more at risk than the general population on the cancer front but discovered he could have some heart condition when he is older,used a testing kit on the internet to find that out.
