How early should I start being tested?!
Question: How early should I start being tested.?
My mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 28 (she's fine now), but I've heard cancer can be genetic, and I don't know anything about my mom's biological family. At what age should I start being tested for it, or similar cancers.?
Or, can it just be found with a routine Pap smear.? And if so, should I go more often than once a year.? Thanks so much.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
It's never too early to get tested. Yearly should be fine, and once you get closer to your 40s and 50s, you'll want to do it every 6 months.
