What about if the family history of cancer is in a different part of the body? I do get mammograms, but they’re not a big deal.

Wife also refuses them.

Best to talk to an oncologist or at least your PP about that. However, I do know that different types of cancer are related to entirely different clusters of genetic and environmental factors -- incidence correlation between, say, prostate cancer and colon cancer would be negligibly low.
