My husband's family seems to have Lynch Syndrome, a genetic cancer. I worry my head off for my kids and grandkids. I asked my kids to get tested to see if they have that gene, forewarned is forearmed, but so far they haven't. Just mentioning in case your family might have that or another inherited gene.
