That is a very good question, and I've been asked that numerous times. In fact, no, he has not.

What is interesting about this, is that I take after my dad's side-which has had cardio-vascular problems, and no cancer. My brother mostly takes after my mom's side, which had all the cancer-most however were throat-lung related (they all smoked).

I'm not sure if we will ever know why one has a problem and not the other, except that all babies are unique unto themselves, even identical twins, have completely different genetic make-up and DNA. I would like to read up on any studies that have been done. If you hear of any, please write me back!
