I'd be worried. May run in the family!
2 :
No but... Seems like your family cancer in the system so i would get regularly checked out so if you ever did come down with it you could catch it at the beginning stages..
3 :
it means your risk of cancer is high. but it doesnt mean you'll get them automatically.
4 :
dependson genetics but when u r older u get check ed regulary since it ran in your family
5 :
No. Cancer isn't contageous. But if cancers are really popular in your family history, there might be a chance you'll have it in the future.
6 :
No that doesnt mean that you will get these cancers. If I were you I'd just make sure to go to the doctors regularly and continue to be checked since this runs in your family. You & your family will be in my prayers.
7 :
Not necessarily...there is no guarantee you will Ask your Dr about BRAC analysis..I saw a commercial for it on TV...it is a blood test that can check to see how likely you are to get certain forms of cancer BEFORE you get them
8 :
It means that you have a very good chance of getting cancer, not that you absolutely will. So make sure to take care of yourself and get your check-ups. Good luck!
9 :
Maybe. Better have yourself checked annually. I've read of an article that has stomach cancers running in their bloodline and all of them you know, so one of them had himself checked every year and managed to escape that 'fate'. =)
10 :
keep track of who got what and when as when your not sure it runs in the family and you need to get checked by a doctor and let him know that 2 sisters already had cancer.
11 :
There is a higher chance you will get it. I would be right on top your health and seeing your doctors, especally with those odds.
12 :
Sounds like your family is very cancer prone. I highly suggest you get regular cancer checks.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and when I found out and talked with my doctor, she explained that there are actually 5 different kinds of breast cancer. Mine was hereditary, which I at the time had never heard of. Some cancers are hereditary and others are mainly caused by our enviroment. There are certain tests that you can take that will tell you if you are at risk or not. You might want to talk to your sisters doctor and find out if the types they have are genetic or not. Depending on when the cancer is found, there are different levels they use to measure how much it has spread, it can travel to other parts of the body. So the one sister you have that has both breast cancer and colon cancer, might have an advanced breast cancer or an advanced colon cancer that has spread to other parts of her body. The best thing you can do, is arm yourself with information!!! This might answer your questions and put your mind at ease. But find out exactly what type of breast cancer your sisters have. It might very well be the same type I had which is hereditary and can also be passed to any children you have. Also, mine wasn't found by finding a lump! It was not a mass, it was micro-calsification specks throughout my breast and was found when I had a mamagram!!!

you have a chance but i wouldn't dwell on it.
