A member asked:
My maternal grandmother had ovarian or uterine cancer, and died when she was in her mid 40's but from a blood clot. what are my risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info: need a bit more information to determine cancer risk as ovarian and uterine cancer are different. As for blood clot risk, same applies, your grandmother had a predisposition to clots just from the cancer itself, so not sure if her clot was from a genetic predisposition.
