I'm 21 , my grandpa, uncle and grandma died from cancer but different types so wt are my chances and when i should do my cancer test?

It depends: There are cancer genes that can increase the risk for family members. A geneticist can obtain a detailed family history and recommend if any testing needs to be done to evaluate for an increased cancer risk.
