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.
