So you’d rather not know?

  If it's not actionable information, then it's not worth the time or the cost. "Our test indicates you have a 90% chance of <tumor type> cancer cells somewhere in your body. There is no solid tumor, so there is nothing to remove. We can do more work-up to try and find it, but unfortunately the government won't reimburse the cost because it's not cost-effective. Or we could just start giving you chemotherapy for a year, then check later and see if there is any cancer. But there is a chance this is a false postive and you don't have any cancer at all. How do you want to proceed?"

  At this point, since we don’t know if these early biomarkers lead to any significant harmful outcomes, yes, I would rather not know. If after they do a few decades of test with This and show me that The DNA they found was linked to premature death, then maybe.
