All in all, from a shidduch perspective, it was too big of a gamble. Right now the person with the likelihood of getting LOTS has a sibling who is completely disabled from it, and other siblings who are B”H fine. The doctor’s letter provided to the other party in the shidduch does indicate that the odds are very small of this person developing further symptoms. But does someone risk caring for someone who will likely become a complete invalid at some point, even IF they may have 10+ relatively healthy years together? The LOTS person feels that they are already showing beginning symptoms. It would be very worthwhile for that person to be tested to confirm. Who knows, ultimately it is up to Hashem. Will have to put away the champagne (yes, it was that close to engagement when this was revealed) for now.
