DD saw the paed today re her reflux and we discussed family health etc.
He said I should think about genetic testing for dd as both her dad and paternal grandmother died at 51 of cancer. He said that I should consider testing and then she can have regular screening if necessary. tbh, i'm not sure what to think about it and wonder whether it would hinder, thinking she had a potential time bomb or not.
Your thoughts would be appreciated. There is no real urgency for any testing or anything but i'm just putting it out there.
Thanks
