WHAT I KNOW AND WHAT I WANT 2 KNOW ABOUT BREAST CANCER!!



From experience , i know a little about breast cancer because, my aunt had it. She was at the doctor's office every day, and she was always sick. She called my sister all the time, to take her to the hospital. One day the doctor told her, they would be able to save her, if they cut one of her breasts off.
Before the cancer got so bad, she didn't know she had it. A lot of people don't know they have it until get tested. Breast cancer is the number one killer of our black women, too. Breast cancer is not curable neither. Both men and women can get it. So, it's not only for females, because males have breats too, ours are not as big though.
I also don't know too much about breast cancer too. When I first encoutered breast cancer, I was so lost and confused, about everything. Things just happened so quickly, one minute she was alive. Then the next minute I was at her funeral. How can a person get breast cancer? Is it possible to get it due to geneitcs? How long can a person live with breast cancer? How would you know you have breast cancer? Is there a good chance, in the near future we will find a cure? Why is breat cancer more common in black women? Can teen have breast cancer?

  1. This post does not contain 300 words.
    I would rate this blog as 8, they aren't any illustrations included in this blog. He shows well about what he knows because he has experienced it first hand with his family. He does very well with conveying what he wants to know about breast cancer.
    He is concerned and would like answers to his questions, many people are hurt by this disease and many others would like the answers to those questions as well.
    He could've have met the requirements for 300 words and I think it would've been even better! As well as mentioning how soon did the person he knew died from the diease, the time frame.

  2. i believe this is a good topic because everybody need to find out about breast cancer instead of just not paying any attention to it.

  3. Alex, you write powerfully and candidly about your personal experience with breast cancer, having witnessed your aunt's suffering. You do raise some good questions here. I agree with Carolyn that pictures would further enhance the blog.
