No one else has died of cancer in our family. My father's father lived
to be 94.
I mostly took after my mother but I do have my father's blood type
(b-). The two kids who took after my mother(looks, brains, athletism)
have my father's blood type for some reason. When I was giving blood
for my father, the nurse said cancer was very genetic. I'm 40 and very
suicidal but i get no comfort from the idea of getting leukemia and
dying in 2 weeks like my father did.
My father did use alot of mercury as a geologist and miner.

shouldn't my family doctor want this information. i go see him after
suicide attempts and stuff but never get a physical exam in my life.
my medical doctor did his residency in psychiatry and he seems to be
pretty dull. i guess i should get  a young doctor who is more
proactive.
