How to tell if i am at risk for cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, you R at risk.: And so am I. Insofar as you are alive, you can get cancer. You may reduce the risk of getting it by living a healthy lifestyle (avoid tobacco, exercise regularly, eat well, etc.) and reduce the risk of dying of cancer by getting screenings appropriate for your age and risk. Talk to your doc about this. Other than that, there's nothing else to do. Enjoy life, my friend. Don't live in fear.
