I'm glad you're going to bite the bullet and get it taken care of.
I always just do whatever my doctor tells me to. Although I'll confess to paying the lab my doctor uses for one of those full profiles because I figured there must be some reason I was feeling so awful (there wasn't).
If you've got a decent doctor, and you tell them your complete family history, they'll make sure you get what you should get.
Although they do differ. My last internist was big on tests. My new internist is less insistent about them. Which I like because my new internist isn't bugging me about a colonoscopy yet.
