Fight Like a Girl

Several women are fighting through breast cancer. Researchers are not positive about what can cause it, but they do know it has to do with personal health history. Breast cancer is the most common cancer for women after skin cancer. In 2012 the American Cancer Society estimates, about 40 thousand women will die a year from it. If a relative has had cancer, it is likely that it could be passed down to the next generation.This disease is dangerous and people really need to be examined to make sure they don’t have it. Although there is a very low chance, men can also get it. Breast cancer is terrifying and is something no one wants to have to experience. It upsets me and I am sure many others as well, that we still have not found a way to cure breast cancer. I couldn’t ever imagine going through what so many of our strong women in America have. I think more people should be informed about this cancer. And our world is dying because of it. More of the money we give for taxing should go toward cancer treatment such as breast cancer. Many citizens in our society are doing fundraisers to fight breast cancer such as the walk called “Making Strides for Breast Cancer.” This walk is an inspiring opportunity to honor those fighting, and it raises money to fight breast cancer. Staying fit and healthy may decrease the risk of breast cancer. If we keep up the good work and help out eventually we will probably be able to cure it and pay for those who need help getting through it.
