Answers:     There's always a casual. Especially with the things we put in our bodies these days.
i doubt it. Much, much older people capture it, dear. Relax and just be a teenager... that's hard satisfactory as it is. Just be yourself.
I'm sorry to hear about your dad.
the information you've given us, you aren't at any increased risk of cancer.

Hereditary cancer is unusual - fewer than 10% of all cancer cases are hereditary. And cancer to be exact diagnosed after the age of 50 is even less likely to be hereditary.

Members of a family having different types of cancer - as you've described - is not inherent. Your dad's cancer and his mother's cancer were not connected.

At least one in three those will develop cancer in their lifetime; so it's not unusual for two, three or more members of the same line to have non-hereditary cancers. It doesn't mean cancer runs surrounded by the family.
y own family, two of my grandparents died of cancer. Both my parents had cancer and my mother died of it. So did my aunt, my uncle and my cousin. None of their cancer were hereditary, and no members of my on the spot or extended family have ever been considered at increased risk of any of the cancer they had.

Of my parents' 6 children, now aged between 47 and 60, I am the only one who have developed cancer, and mine too is non-hereditary and unconnected to theirs.
You should own your regular appointment with the doctor...

...Just to be on the safe side.
Hereditary cancer only increases your chance of cancer by less than 10%
