Hello Larkspur and welcome to the forum.

I'm very sorry to hear your late husband and other members of his family have all passed away from stomach cancer, and for the worry this is causing your children.

You can find out more about inherited cancer genes and increased cancer risk and how to get tested, on our website but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable in this area so they will be able to answer your questions and hopefully put your minds at ease.

I hope this helps and that you hear back from some of our members soon.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
