When you say at least three types of cancer if not more run in my famliy', do you simply mean that members of your famliy have had those types of cancer?Because cancer that runs in the famliy' is actually very rare fewer than 10% of all cancer cases, all types, are hereditary. Cancer diagnosed after the age of 50 is even less likely to be hereditary.An isolated case of a type of cancer in a famliy is not hereditary, nor is several famliy members having had different types of cancer. And you don't inherit a general tendency to get cancer.A sign that cancer MAY be hereditary is when several members of the same side of a famliy have had the SAME type of cancer, especially if some have developed it at a younger than usual age.In those particular circumstances it may be considered appropriate for genetic testing (for those types of cancer where it's available) to establish whether the cancers are due to a rare inherited faulty gene.On top of that, there's no scientific proof, that marijuana helps to prevent any type of cancer. So, no; a prescription is pretty much out of the question. Was this answer helpful?
