Luz Lopez(4th period)- 8-year-old battling rare breast cancer

     Chrissy Turner found a lump in her right breast and asked her mom what was it. Her mother then took her to the hospital right away because she didn't know what it was. The doctors said it was a rare of secretory breast carcinoma. This type of cancer is a 1% chance a person will get it and a child is 0.01%. There have been a total of 34 cases in all. Chrissy has gone under surgery to get the lump removed. She will have another one in December.
     This article spoke out to me because a little girl has a rare breast cancer. Her family is probably worried sick about her health. It's god that the hospital is talking about plans on how to pay for the surgeries. This kinda reminded me during the times of the bombing in Vietnam during World War II. People who were affected by the bomb couldn't drink water or else they died. They had severe burns on their bodies.
