Ive watched people die of cancer. I do not want to die of cancer. Early detection and treatment increases the chances of a better outcome. What is a normal person supposed to do exactly to avoid this terrible fate when doctors say nothing works and you should just yolo it?

i’ve worked in R&D for DNA sequencer companies for over a decade. this is a pretty good TLDR on why genetic testing is a “complicated” test. you kind of need continuous testing over your lifetime to see what’s changing due to cell division errors. those are the true monsters that cause cancer.

one study i worked on showed that on average every 12th cigarette you smoked created a mutation in your DNA. usually benign but that’s another path for how it starts.

Am I getting page views? As a clickbait, here's my link you should click.

People should not try to be their own doctors, like they should not try to be their own lawyers. Your self-interest will work against your objectivity, most likely to your detriment.
