If you are exposed to asbestos or radon does this guarantee that you will get cancer?

No guarantee. People live to a ripe old age exposed and there are smokers that live into their nineties. So much depends on DNA and many other factors. Also remember, EVERYONE is exposed to asbestos and radon (both are natural) during their life and not everyone gets cancer.
it wont guarantee you that you have cancer, but you will have a high risk of mesothelioma. talk to your doctor.

When it comes to medicine there are no guarantees.
I do know that you can get mesothelioma from a single exposure to asbestos, but it does take about 25 years to manifest.
