Answers:
You are right to be concerned about your mom and about your health as well. However please do not worry about things you may or may not get. You are quite young yet. If your mom is a type II Diabetic, that means she contracted it in adulthood most likely by behaviors and poor weight control. (I have Type II) So you can limit your risk by staying physically fit and making HEALTHY eating choices. The breast cancer is something your mom or you cannot control. And if your mom is heavier, it can lead to arthritis in the joints. I have that as well. I hope you just don't worry yourself to death sweetheart. It'll all work out. :o)
