Hi doc. One of my family members had cancer before. Should i be worried that i might contracted it? How about my children? Will they contract it too?

- 1. breast cancer - self examination monthly, ultrasound breast and/or mammogram , 2. cervix cancer - HPV virus vaccination, Pap smear, 3. Colorectal cancers- check stool for occult blood and colonoscopy, 4. lung cancer- for high risk patients and smokers (>30 pack-years smoking, age 55-70) can do low dose CT scan of thorax to see if any lung cancers, etc. Healthy eating habits, high water intake and healthy lifestyle (avoid smoking/ do exercise and keep fit) helps.

If I have had or am having breast cancer (or any other cancer), can I still get pregnant? What do I do if I am already pregnant?

Certain treatments in cancer, like chemotherapy may affect fertility/ability to get pregnant. Some cancers like ovary or uterus cancer will require surgery to remove the uterus/ovary and hence will not be able to get pregnant anymore. Cancers like cervix cancer and rectum cancer may need radiotherapy, and hence will cause menopause/infertility. Every individual is different, and each case is unique. Discuss with your doctor, there are ways to keep you fertile, and treatment options can be discussed. It is more important to know what you have, what options that you have , and to keep you alive
