Cancer Risk From: TJ (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 1 May 2002 14:20:10 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: Slightly Different Question about Pelvic Exam and Pap Smears" Previous message: little: "Re: strange bleeding again" Next in thread: Maggie: "Re: Cancer Risk" Reply: Maggie: "Re: Cancer Risk" I have a question about cancer. I am wondering about my own risk factors for breast or ovarian cancer, because older relatives have had these diseases. However, the relatives were my grandmother and her two sisters, my great aunt. These women also had bladder and colon cancer (I think). This was my paternal grandmother. My mother has never had any gynecologic illnesses, that I know of, nor has her mother. And I have no sisters. So I'm wondering, since no immediate members of my family have had cancer, am I safe, or reasonably so? I have been told that women who have never been pregnant are at greater risk of ovarian and uterine cancer. Is this true? -- TJ Next message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "Re: Slightly Different Question about Pelvic Exam and Pap Smears" Previous message: little: "Re: strange bleeding again" Next in thread: Maggie: "Re: Cancer Risk" Reply: Maggie: "Re: Cancer Risk"
