Genetic Testing, Ho!…

One side of my family all died (except for my grandmother) of cancers. I have the chance to get genetic testing and find out what, if any, cancers or other gene-delimited illness(es) I could fall prey to.

I would get the test and find out what I’m likely to die of.

But the information would be shared with my health insurance provider since they’re footing the bill for the test. And I’ve realized by extension that they could deny treatment for any predisposed cancer. I’d know what will happen, and be powerless to treat it.

I’m wondering if I can pay for it privately without insurance.
