Why do you ask?: Everybody dies, but primary bone cancers arising in older folks aren't hereditary. Take care of your heart while you're young and you have a better chance of enjoying your later years.

CHF and cancer: I'm so sorry to hear about your father's death Anna. There are so many factors that go into what you're asking, and I really know nothing about you. I can tell you will need to be screened for cancer at 40 years old or 10 years before your dad was diagnosed with it. Avoid cigarettes and alcohol and eat a diet low in fat. Live an active healthy lifestyle and see your doctor with any questions.
