Genetically, will there be a chance that I'll get the terminal disease?!


Question:

Genetically, will there be a chance that I'll get the terminal disease?

when my grandmother was diagnosed of cancer, the doctor warned our family that women may also get it because it is hereditary,most esp my aunties because they are the daughters(direct contact?).They should have themselves checked up for early detection.
I'm just wondering if I'l stil get the disease with the way I'm related w/ my grandma...My father is my grandma's son..

the difficult part is, there is no specific type of cancer. So if ever we'll get infected, we won't know which part of our body will get affected.


Answers:

Yes, there is a chance. I have the same women's illnesses that my Dad's sisters have. So get your regular check-ups and cancer screenings.
