Answers:
you have every right to be worried, although there is no proof that this could happen!. I would go see your gp and ask for advice, they might be able to offer a test of some kind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you're probably just as vulnerable as anyone else!. so many people think that most cancers are genetically related but they're not!. it's actually only a small percentage of cancers that are caused by genetic issues!. we're all at risk!. lifestyle (smoking, environmental hazards, stress, obesity etc) will increase your risk though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I understand your concerns, emotionally losing someone so close to you through cancer is an horrific experience!.
If you have any worries then talk with your GP
