as someone who's life has been saved and who would have eventually ended up with cancer if it wasn't for tests at a younger age, I would advise everyone to take the routine checks. The cancer I would have had only typically affects people who are 50's+, so I would have never have known or noticed until too late if it wasn't for those as you would mistake symptoms for something else.

now They have found the gene between me and my mum it has also saved my brother from further tests because we found he didnt have it. Having tests, even if it does reveal something, isnt the end of the world and i wanted to express that. It hasn't only saved me from a horrible future, but has given my brother piece of mind to and has genetically helped the future generations in knowing from day 1 if they have the gene or not.

People don't realise how crucial these checks are. Even if you dont have anything, thats a bonus. Better being safe than being sorry In my opinion. Hope all goes well Brian and hope It's clear. glad you get them done, besides once its done you're free of them till the next a year or few years down the line ?

my generation is all anti vaccine and anti this, anti that. "fearless" thinking nothing can strike us down. But that is very much not true, and blind stupidity when you think about it properly. I just hope this pushes a few people to realise that tests aren't pleasant but its better to go through with it than not.

Hayley - this piece will surely resonate with people of my generation who have come up on the radar of the health authorities and are constantly being invited in to have tests for this, that and the other. In fact I'm off to the doctors tomorrow afternoon for something...can't remember what, I just go.
