I am so glad that you have the incredible support of your T as well as other people in your life to help you through this process, whatever the outcome.

I wish you the best of possible news when you find out the results. I think that your perspective on chronic disease really healthy and thoughtful. I think that most doctors would agree that the course of any disease is unpredictable, and different in most people, and that overall healthy habits like the ones you have make a huge difference in the progression.

I also think that should you have inherited this disease, you will not be this disease. And that if it should turn out that you have the same disease as her, you will not be her, in any way.
