I would like to know at what age your mother and aunt were diagnosed with cancer.
And would like to have a consult with you to assess the risk and also advise you about the precautions you should take

Please share the family history is detail . You can consult me with the details, not all cancers are are having a hereditary pattern . Specially cancers seen at old age usually sporadic - one off cancer . So need to know the family history is detail to tell you regarding your risk and the screening if they are required
