Q: 42 year old healthy female. use edibles for ptsd. is there any risk of cancer from edibles? if so, which cancers? i don't smoke it?

: I presume you are referring to THC edibles. There is no evidence that THC taken orally causes cancer. If it were smoked, there would be an increase in bone cancer. Use only in moderation, however. Good luck.
