Family medical history

How much do you guys actually know about your family medical history?

Quite so. May I ask what prompted the question?

Same here.

What's even the point of this thread?🤷

I’ve got a hunch the OP just stumbled onto some bombshell in their family history—something they hadn't even begun to process, let alone wrap their head around. Now they're sitting there feeling totally blindsided, thinking they should have seen it coming all along.

So, basically... Mom and Dad are doing okay. Grandpa and Grandma? A little rougher. And then there's all of Mom's aunts and their cousins too.
When you lose someone close to you... man. You just start worrying that you'll never have anything like that again.
What do you guys think about this????????

When you lose someone in your immediate family, that's when the panic sets in about whether you're next on the list.
What's your take on this????????

I'll worry about it once I actually lose someone in my first degree circle.🙂
For now, the only thing running through my dad's side is high blood pressure.
Nothing from my mom's side at all.🤷

Maybe I'll be the one to throw a curveball into the genetic mix!🤣🤣
