Thanks ladies

I sent my uncle an email today asking for some more info as well as the family history of it - my dad says we have great cousins who had it too.

DP is going to ask his Dad about his little sister.

I know they are different strains - as they affected them each so differently. Just gathering the info.

However I was told by the generic counsellor on the phone today that they don't need to know the particular types as the test will identify the type anyway.

Doesn't hurt to gather all the info though!
