If i get it will i pass away for it because my mom did? what are are my chances of beating the cancer? Also any suggestions on how to control anxiety attacks?

Answers:

Is your entire family crazy?? Why would anyone say that to anyone let alone a child. Anxiety?? Prozac, zoloft, etc

Your dad is BS'ing you. You cannot get cancer from overdosing on pills and stuff. If you have a teacher or adult relative or friend (e.g. a friend's mom or dad), other than your dad you can trust and talk to, I would recommend that. Also, not all bruises are from leukemia. You may have burst a capillary (it happens) and can look like a bruise.

Not everyone dies as a result of having cancer. I had cancer 7 years ago. My sister had it 18 years ago and my dad had it too.
