It's a genetic problem then (just learnt about Genetics too, I could give you some more background on it if you want)

1. any illnesses or diseases that run in your family?

My mother's side has like a 50% chance of Cancer in every male. So, that's something to worry about for me - I don't think I have it though

2. what are they? if any

For now, I've just found out about Cancer running on my mother's side. I'm not sure if there's any more though

3. do you think youll end up getting it/them?

There's a chance, but I really hope I don't obviously. But like I said I don't think so but i'm not going to fear the worst out of this
