The genetic screening clinic has a questionnaire that basically wants more information about my life and my family than I think I actually have.
Even things like "date of cancer diagnosis" I mean do I count when the oncologist spotted it or when it was first seen on a CT but not yet then identified as probably cancer or, like, when the lab results came back saying it was definitely cancer, which, at that point was it really me having cancer since it was no longer in my body actually?
(Because the attempt to figure out in advance if it was definitely cancer did not go well and we only actually got confirmation when the surgeon just took the whole thing out and they sent that to a lab. I consented to it being used for research or further study, so who even knows, maybe someone wanted some nice slow-growing cancer cells to culture and some of it is still existing, which is a vaguely weird thought, but probably I think it's all been incinerated by now? But I digress.)
But also family history. Like. These people live(d) on another continent and many of them I had not met.
Anyway. I'll try to get it figured out soon and notably they did give it to me well in advance but I might also have to actually see my doctor about some of it.
