Blog about Breast cancer

Hi my name is Estefan Carrillo and my blog is about Breast cancer, I chose to blog about this topic because I want women to not have to through such a thing like that and my my had breast cancer when I was 7 years old.

What is breast cancer

Breast cancer is a malignant (cancer) tumor that starts in the cells of the breast. It is found mostly in women, but men can get breast cancer, too. Here we will only talk about breast cancer in women


Some facts about breast cancer in 2012   

  • About 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women
  • About 63,000 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be found (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
  • About 39,510 deaths from breast cancer (women)

Why i'm passionate about breast cancer

At the age of 35 my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. which meant that she would have her breast removed and she would have to go through intensive chemotherapy. when my mom had her chemotherapy she was weak and i had to do a lot of stuff for her so now i treat her as nicely as possible because it could come back.

​The photo you see above is of a women laying in bed after she had chemotherapy. When you get chemotherapy you lose all your hair and your imune system is not as strong.

I noticed that you didn't have any hyperlinks and if you did, it would have made your blog that much better.

I wonder if you could mention even more about you and your mom when she was going through breast cancer. It would give the blog a very nice touch. Your passion for breast cancer is my favorite part of the blog!

What if you made the bullet points into a paragraph so the blog had a much smoother flow?

I noticed you were missing a few words in your introduction paragraph but everything flowed well together.

I wonder if you watched a documentary on this topic/issue.

What if you used a little bit more writing and perhaps a few more visuals.

I notice how well you put this together. I can tell how much you care about this topic and i look forward to reading your next 2 blogs.!

I wonder how they treat breast cancer if it gets out of control.

What if you interview you mom and how it felt to go through such a crisis situation.
