[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was family friends with a young couple for a few years before and after marriage.  Shortly after their marriage she discovered that she had terminal cancer.
The illness destroyed their marriage.  There was no children in their future, nobody knew when she might pass.  It ground on this way for a few years before they finally divorced.  
So I disagree with a lot of the responders on here who seem to think illness is not a big deal in a marriage.  Maybe not for older folks who have already had children and past middle age.  But for younger people who expect life to still unfold before them, it is very hard.  It is and can drag marriage into very dark territory.[/quote]

Because statistically, early deaths from cancer are extremely rare. Cancer is primarily a disease that comes with age, even for people with a family history.

What you need to do is GET TESTED. So OP is half correct. Her future DIL, if indeed this is she, will need to get tested, and I assume she already knows this. But this is not something OP can broach before she knows this persona lot better than she does now.
