Hi - welcome to the group. It's always a good idea to let GPs know if immediate family have a serious/ongoing illness. Hopefully it will not matter, but just occasionally it can be important. GPs prefer to have you tell them then these things than assume that there is no relationship - better safe then sorry. Hope all goes well xx
