  • I also have a family history of skin cancer-both basal cell and melanoma. I have been checked every 6 months since I was about 10, and several moles are ususally removed each time. So far, no full blown cancer, but there was some sort of abnormality found 3 years ago when I was 26. From what I understand, heredity plays a big part in skin cancer, so get checked regularly, wear sunscreen and cover up! (I am not a doctor)
  • Improve your chances of being cancer free, if you smoke...stop, if you eat fast food...stop, in other words, eat healthy, exercise( at least a brisk walk daily). use sun screen whenever outdoors (even in overcast weather) there are sunscreen's available that are oderless and colorless. You are genetically predisposed for an occurence of cancer, starting a smart "anti-cancer" regiment now will reduce your chance's of developing cancer.
  • Very high. You should be consulting with a dermatologist and apprise them of your family history of skin cancer. They will be able to provide you with more and better information than you will get here regarding a potentially life threatening situation.
