This section is for anybody who is worried that cancer might run in their family. It is also for people who have been advised, or who have decided, to see a cancer genetics specialist or genetic counsellor. If you don't have at least two relatives with the same type of cancer on the same side of your family, the information in this section is probably not relevant to you.
