I am so glad you wrote this, Hiya. I participated in the US-based Galleri trial last year, and it was so meaningful to do a small part in hopefully bringing broad-based early diagnostics to people who want them. And as someone in my 50s, I'd love to have the option to pay even out-of-pocket for this test every year or two, because like you, I want to know--and I do think that knowledge creates opportunity. More people who know they have early stages of a disease means more people pushing for faster, better clinical trials and new medication that can stop disease progression.
Thank you for sharing this, Hiya. I hope your dad's health is better soon.
