Hi, just wondering...my mother had colon cancer and my father has crohns..what are my chances of getting either one?

Family hx important: If all is well with gi tract doesn't mean you are going to get the same diseases as your parents however you probably should have earlier screening then the general population around age 40. However is you are younger than that having gi issues best to get checked sooner than later

F/Hx and age of Ca : Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers? If detected early, it's also one of the most curable`. Average age for colon Ca. detection is 70 yrs, highly unusual for someone to develop at early age (<40yrs. Often these people develop cancer within a hereditary syndrome.F/Hx is very important ..Age at when your parents were Dxed with Ca is important, because your screening starts 10 yrs early
