I think that it would depend on the disease.

I worry often about the nature of my head and whether it might be hereditary - that is about protecting my children and so that is a bit different.

But when it comes to breast cancer - as a specific disease - would I?

Yes I would have the profile - I don't know what I would do with it - I would need the information first.  I have two acquaintances who have lost the grandmother, aunts and mum  - all of them and one took a radical step of having a double masectomy to ensure that she didn't end up with breast cancer and an early death. 

I am sending you all of my best warmest wishes Alba, it is not about the testing it is about the question that lies in your head.  lots of love UM xx
