  I would be lying to say you had no chance but it really depends on what cancer and lifestyle choice. SOme cancers have a genetic factor but others such as lung cancer are more determined by your lifestyle choice. Remember, just because your family get something doesnt mean you will. Its about chance, and risk factors. No test can tell you 100% that you will or won;t get anything.
  So I wouldn’t worry
