Genes: Are a major factor in our health but are not our destiny, which is what we used to think. Please do continue to see your doctor some he/she can keep an eye on your health relative to family history. Do a search on epigenetic and learn about lifestyle ways to help turn on and turn off our genetic tendencies. These include meditation, yoga, qigong, nutrition, lifestyle, etc.
