There is a small possibility (5%) that one could get a HNMTC (hereditary non-medullary thyroid cancer) and if 3 or more first degree relatives have it, your chance of getting it is 94%. You would have to get screened to rule out everything. Hope this helps, good luck. Follicular thyroid cancer is not hereditary, Medullary thyroid cancer is.
