NO. We have our parents DNA but our environment and choices are different which make a big difference.
Cancer being in your family history is a concern so you need to take your annual physicals (Oh FUN) but you also need to live a healthy lifestyle. The usual eat right, exercise and keep all the drinking smoking etc..to a very moderate level or not at all.
Its not a guarantee; but it will definitely improve your chances of avoiding the problem and should it show up anyway, you improve your chances of winning the fight.
Certain things like cancer can be hereditary. But if you know this coming into it all than make sure to take good care of yourself and see a doctor regularly.
Everyone Obviously Is A Carier Of Cancer. Meaning It Is Also In Your Genes So You Also May Get It.
Of course not. But if there is a family history of a disease then tell your doctor and get checked for it, they can cure or prevent many things now if they know what to look for.
