Cancer possibly in famiy
My mum died of bile duct cancer, aged 48. My man, also died of cancer, located in the lower gastro area, not specifically known. She also died between 45-50.
Now although bile duct cancer is not hereditary- usually, I am worried whether cancer may run in the blood line considering both died from very similar cancers and at similar ages. Should I be worried?
