Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Don't think in this way,even the Darwin law says one out of four will escape the risk of genetic abnormality.
More over each had different cancers, with different etiology. and not genetic. So you need not think the other way.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good blood,general health, and resistance against the diseases.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.Also avoid untimely foods to avoid gastric irritation, and stomach cancer.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
