If my mother dies at 46 from breast,bone and lung cancer, and?


my granma dies at 65 from cancer and my great grannma dies before 80 from cancer, will I get cancer and die early as well? Im 26.

You are most likely going to have a better chance to get cancer than someone who doesn't have a family history. Please, don't think you are going to die however. Just make sure that you take good care of yourself- don't smoke, drink to excess. Keep yourself fit, excersise, walk, eat well. It is imparative that you go in for a yearly exam and see a doctor if you feel that something isnt right. Do breat self-exams, and maybe request a mamogram every year, even though you are only 26. Get your PAP every year.

Tell your doctor about your concerns.

Please, don't over think this. Live your life to the fullest- any of us could get hit by a bus and die today, no matter how hard we work to keep ourselves well. You will most likely live a long and wonderful life :)

Good luck, and I'm so sorry about your losses.
Not if you take care of yourself and get frequent check-ups: At least a once a year mammogram and do self breast exams at least once a month.
You are at a very high risk that you WILL develop cancer. You need to see your doctor and have a PET scan. It can detect abnormal cells anywhere in the body---before they become tumors.
possibly! you can't just get lung cancer....if you smoke or inhale things around you a lot then it's possible. Genetics and the statistics say....and will tell you....it's possible. Don't worry too much. Just take care of yourself...have faith!
If both your grandma and your mom died early from cancer, you are genetically predispositioned to have cancer. From an environmental standpoint, it would be best to avoid carcinogens. For example, defiantly no smoking, stay away from pesticides and try to eat organic when possible. Do not eat partially hydrogenated foods and eat foods high in anti-oxidants (fruits and veggies). Also, to keep yourself healthy, try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise per day.
Not if you live a good wholesome life. Environmental factors are very great influences. Take all the positive actions you can. If you don't then you will most definitely die too soon.
no, that is not what it means.but it does give you a higher chance.if you eat raw veges 5 serv a day keep sugar under a 100 grams you will be fine, one thought you might consider.you have to live to die,so live and you have to die in order to live a take Jesus as your savior and you have no worries
