A member asked:
So i'm curious...i'm a cancer survivor and my girlfriend possibly has cancer so i'm wondering if our kids will have a higher chance of getting cancer?

Genetics: You didn't mention what kind of cancer you had or your girlfriend may have... Some types of cancer run in certain families, but most cancers are not clearly linked to the genes we inherit from our parents. Good luck to your girlfriend, hoping that her scare is just that and not ultimately cancer.
