Definately looks like lungcancer runs in the family..
but hey i know how you feel, varicose veins and bowl cancer run in my family.
but you dont have to worry..
because whenever your older you can get check ups regulary for that.
and eliminate your chances of getting cancer.
yay =]
Test your blood at least once a year. Use sunblock and don't smoke. Look on the internet and do research on alkali based diets. Be pro-active !!
dunno
Yes, when it runs in the family, there is always a higher probability that you will too. You don't have to smoke to get lung cancer, but it sure helps the process out. ANYONE can have cancer-It doesn't even have to run in the family.
There is no way of knowing if you will or not. Your chances are allot higher than someone without a history.
I ended up with breast cancer, the kind I had is heredity but no one in my family has ever had breast cancer. So, you can never tell.
Most cancers are not hereditary unless its breast cancer , most are environmental , meaning caused by things in the enviroment . You have just about as high as a chance as another person , so aka a low chance
