My mom had cervical cancer twice, and her mom has lukimia. im a 16 year old, girl teenager. do i have the cancer gene and should i be tested?

Unlikely: Unlikely related. A thorough family history of all the cancers in the family (both mom and dad side) is good to have. Here is a good resource. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/risk/genetic-testing.
