What are your views of the benefits of a diagnosis?

Question

There can be both pro's and con's when a diagnosis ahs been reached, but what is your idea as the pro's (benefits)?

Answer 1

Peace of mind knowing what is wrong, how to prevent it from getting worse, how to possibly treat it, what to expect, and acceptance if its untreatable.

Answer 2

Well, if a diagnosis has been made, then treatment can begin. If there is no treatment available, and death is imminent, then you can update your will, appoint a power of attorney, and try to prepare yourself and others.
