If someone shares a tattoo needle with someone with Leukemia cancer can they get it to?
I had two son's. my 20 year old pasted away last year from Leukemia and I just found out that my 20 year old and my 18 teen year old shared a tattoo needle. My 18 teen year old is all I have in the world so my question is can he get leukemia cancer to.

No, he won't get leukemia, but you should make sure that he never, ever shares a tattoo needle with anyone ever again. Sharing tattoo needles can spread HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B. People can have these viruses without showing any symptoms, so you can't tell who has them and who doesn't.

No, as a cancer patient I can honestly tell you that cancer is by no means a "contagious" disease. There is no way to spread/contract the disease.
Even though it was your boys who shared the needle and they probably know that each other is safe I hope, please tell your son that sharing needles is not a safe idea. Other fatal diseases like HIV/AIDS or Hep. for example can be spread through the transmission of needle sharing.
I am very sorry about the loss of your son.
