Can't tell...: ...With the info provided but is a valid question. I would suggest you ask your family doc who can get a full family history or refer you to a cancer geneticist if he/she thinks is appropriate. Most cancers are sporadic, not inherited but you should investigate. Hope you have a great holiday season.
