Just looking for some help as getting a bit lost looking online for answers.
My mother in law was diagnosed with breast cancer aged 34 but was given the all clear after some radiotherapy and had been clear for 12 years before it returned aged 46 and it is now terminal.
My husband did ask her if she had been tested for any genes to which she said she had and that she didn’t carry a gene and her cancer was hormonal. I’m just still a bit concerned for my husband and our children I think due to the age she caught breast cancer and the fact it returned. Is my husband at a higher risk of developing breast cancer automatically as his mother has it? And same question for my son and daughter? Can my husband still get tested to detect if he has a gene if he wants to?
I have no history of breast cancer on my side of the family but my dad has had prostate and his dad (so my grandad) had bowel cancer so also wondering if my risk is higher for cancer in general because of this?
many thanks in advance
