I hate these thoughts that are at the back of my mind

There is a screening test which checks how prone the genese of a person are to different types of cancer. I think I should do it since there is a history in my family .. But I keep postponing. Part of me feels it is a waste of money, because genese play very little role after-all as most cancer cases are not genetic actually, and I remember the doctor also telling me that some results may be "un-determined" and so many other disclaimers that I almost asked, what is the point... But I don't think this is the main reason.. The cost of the test isn't anything that I cannot afford.. But I feel I just don't have the mental strength to even think of that disease, or that I don't want to find out...

But I keep thinking, better safe than sorry.. It could actually be a good idea to do it, to take preventative or detective measures, if i need to.. and I will probably do it at some point... but I just hate to think about it anymore....

my doctor keeps telling me that I should start the annual checkup for breast cancer since it runs wild in my family but I always refuse. what I think is that if i ever have it but dont know about it I'll die once, but if I fall into that test and checkup hole I'll die everyday and everytime I do it :\ and you know what they're like "oh we found something sus u gotta go check it with another doc" "oh it's nothing but just to be sure do this other test" imagine all the shock and stress that you'll go through

I am sorry you have to deal with this. The unknown is scary but I think you should do the test.

This way you will know what’s going to happen. You may not even have this gene and you are worrying yourself for nothing.

@BittersweetPotato I am hoping the test reveals nothing for you but if does then you will know and early interventions can be done for you.

I am glad you are going to do it and I am sending all the positive thoughts your way that nothing comes up for you 💖.
