My great uncle passed away years ago from brain cancer and i was wondering if that puts me more at risk? he is the only relative i know of that has had this form of cancer?

No added risk: Your relative’s passing from brain cancer does not place you at higher risk. Stay healthy by eating well, not living toxic chemical dumps or strong electrical fields, sleeping well, exercising or staying physically active, sharing love, and having faith. Good luck.
