It would be a great help if anyone could help.
Or there is something that can reduce the chances of getting this deadly disease.

Genetic risk of cancer is only 10percent.
It's mainly in few cancers especially breast, ovarian and colon cancers
Would like to know what cancer your mother had?
Also you can meet genetic counsellor and do genetic testing (done at few reputed labs) to check whether you are prone to have that same or any other cancers..
