Should I say something and how should I say it?

In-law recently died at age 40 of colon cancer. I am pretty sure there is a strong genetic link to colon cancer deaths in this age group. This person has 7 brothers and sisters. One sibling is nurse and one is pharmacist. I can't help wondering if anyone has warned them they need to be checked. I was thinking of saying something to spouse of deceased, especially about their children. Most likely they already have been warned by doctor on case but you never know.

Are you a nurse or a mouse? (Sorry just got finished watching American Tale with my daughter - again).

Just tell whomever that you care and you want to remind them that they need to be checked. If they look at you funny, say something like, "look I'd just feel bad if you got IT too and I hadn't told you to care for yourself. Isn't that what family's are supposed to do?"
