Scott Porter’s marriage shaken after wife’s genetic diagnosis<\/p>\n

Scott Porter\u2019s world turned upside down when his wife Kelsey got heartbreaking news about her health.<\/p>\n

They\u2019d been building a life together since marrying in 2013, but everything shifted when Kelsey found out her mom had Huntington\u2019s disease, a rare brain disorder that can be passed down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scott said it changed their relationship in ways they never saw coming, and it happened fast.<\/p>\n

He told People: “That was definitely a moment of complete change, as far as the trajectory of my wife’s and my relationship.<\/p>\n

“It can really tear through families very quickly.”<\/p>\n

Huntington\u2019s disease is genetic, so each child has a 50 percent chance of getting it. But Scott, who shares two kids with Kelsey, says testing is a personal choice everyone has to make for themselves.<\/p>\n

He added: “People who find Huntington’s disease is in their family have a choice to make: get tested or not get tested.<\/p>\n

“Live your life not knowing or live your life knowing that you possibly have a neurodegenerative disease that could take your mind, your body, your balance, your moods, and turn them into something completely different than you are now.<\/p>\n

“There is no right or wrong way to go about things.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scott Porter’s marriage shaken after wife’s genetic diagnosis Scott Porter\u2019s world turned upside down when his wife Kelsey…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182466,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3846],"tags":[267,70,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-182465","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-genetics","8":"tag-genetics","9":"tag-science","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114678977674692777","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
