A member asked:
My mother has glaucoma and breast cancer stage 3c . do it means that i will develop glaucoma or breast cancer .?

Not necessarily. Regarding breast cancer, when you are ten years younger than the age at which your mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, get a mammogram and get regular checks. Your doctor may advice a mammogram by age 40. Regarding glaucoma, see an ophthalmologist for a baseline evaluation and advice about repeat visits for checking eye pressure. Wish you good health!
