Question

type of cancer, what are my chances of getting it?
Im 25.

Answer 1

Breast Cancer can be heredirty. If it follows down family lines that far, then it is something you should think about getting checked early in life for. I am 26 and have Stage 2 Breast Cancer and No one in my family has ever had Breast Cancer. I have pasted below some information about breast Cancer and age and family. Good luck to you and you family, your thoughts are with me.

Cause
The exact cause of breast cancer is not known. Female hormones and increasing age play a part. The chances that you will develop breast cancer increase as you age. About 1 in every 7 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer if she lives to be 80. 5, 4

Family history also plays a role in the development of breast cancer. You are more likely to have breast cancer if your mother, father, or sister has breast cancer. Also, women who carry certain genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 are more likely to have breast cancer. If you have a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, you may want to be tested for these genes. People who inherit specific changes, or mutations, in one or both of these genes have a greater risk of developing breast cancer.

Studies show that women who take hormone replacement therapy with estrogen and progesterone have an increased risk of breast cancer. Women who take estrogen alone may not have an increased risk. 3

Many people believe that only women have breast cancer. But, although rare, about 1% of all breast cancer occurs in men. Most men who have breast cancer are older than 65, but it can appear in younger men. For this reason, any breast lump in an adult man is considered abnormal. 1, 2

Answer 2

If they all had breast cancer, you have an increased risk for breast cancer yourself, and you need to advise your physician of this. Besides monthly self-exam, your doctor may want to start you with yearly mammograms earlier than age 40.

If cancer of any kind seems to run in your family, the risk to you is also a bit higher than the average population. Never ignore any symptoms, and make sure your doctors are aware of your family medical history.

Answer 3

Brest, Cervical.

Eat right and exercise. Drink water, and take a vitamin every morning. If you have sex use a condom, so you won't get cervical cancer.
