Genetics

Jackie, Your personal risk is based on your own cancer, your father's and your father's sister. Your husband's genetic background is much greater, but I do think that in terms of your children genetic counseling would be strongly recommended.

With a history like your husband's family, I would wonder if there is also possibly an environmental factor involved there.

Being counseled gives you knowledge and choices. Sometimes the choices aren't easy.
