They were probably erring in the side of caution as you are so young.

I'd advise you to go to your local sexual health clinic. The nurses there deal with contraception all day every day and take a detailed family history. They'll know what brand of pill would be okay for you to take if you're worried about the cancer risk and they can discuss other options with you like the mirena coil, implant etc.
