If everyone in your family dies from the same type of cancer then yes be proactive like getting breasts or ovaries removed. My dad had a massive stroke at 59 but my mom had small ones from 78-until she died at 89 from cancer. I am at higher risk of course. I exercise daily, take my BP medications, etc but I don’t dwell on it because it is outside my control just like the cancer on my mom’s side of the family since everyone had a different type.
