Hard to Tell
That's the problem with cancer. No one seems to be able to find a solid link to the source. All we can do is guess.
My doctor said mine was caused by exposure to radiation. Working outdoors for almost 35 years is my guess of where it came from. My brother has freaked out thinking it may be genetic or hereditary. I keep telling him he has no worries and that mine came from the suns radiation but it hasn't satisfied his concern. Out of 8 children I am the only one that got it.
IMO, it's a hit or miss thing. No one will be able to say exactly why you both had it. As long as you're both okay is the important thing. Are you?

Not all tonsil cancer is caused by the HPV virus and some cancers such as breast cancer when there is the BRCA gene involved does run in families and can be hereditary. There is also Li-Fraumeni syndrome and Lynch syndrome which are hereditary and can cause cancer.
