My parents are forcing me to leave my girlfriend solely because she has a medical condition that would cause her to possibly have cancer in the future.

And now after giving me the ultimatum that if I don't leave her, they're going to kick me out of the family, I'm left wondering what the right move is, because at this point, I seriously don't know what to do.
