Hi,
I understand your concern regarding cancer and heredity. While genetics is a risk factor for cancer, there are many other factors to consider such as medical and personal history, type of cancer, symptoms, as well as results of diagnostic tests. It is best that you discuss this with your attending physician, in consideration with these other factors for proper evaluation. Take care and best regards.
