I did get a genetic test done about 2 years ago, everything came back normal, nothing concerning. My father died at 68 years old from pancreatic cancer, his brother died at 42 years old from bone cancer in the 1970's, their father died of prostate cancer at 82 years old (untreated, stubborn German farmer from WI), their mother lived into her 90's without any cancer symptoms. My mother's side, her father died of lung cancer at 68 years old (no smoking), her mother died of colon cancer at 75 years old (heavy smoker), her sister died of lung cancer at 71 years old (heavy smoker), her brother has prostate cancer right now and they removed it at the age of 79 (diagnosed at about 77 years old), and my mother had her kidney removed about 6 years ago at the age of 76 from cancer, she is 82 years old now and doing well.

Good to hear your genetic test showed nothing. My German grandfather died of pancreatic cancer in his 40s. His 3 daughters must have gotten BRCA2 from him.

With all the cancer in your family, it’s surprising you that you don’t have anything genetic. At least that way you don’t have to worry about your children having anything passed down, Though the fact that both your father and you have prostate cancer, increases any son’s chance over 100% of getting it.
