When my best friend, Ellie, died of brain cancer about seven years ago, I was scared. I have a hyphothalmic hamartoma in my brain, the doctors say it won't become cancer, as it has not grown since 1996 when we found it. I thought after my friends' death my life would be free of cancer, but then my aunt Becky was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000. She fought through five years and many rounds of chemo and a mastectomy until she died in 2005. Now I'm 19 and so far haven't had any more encounters with cancer, but I support everyone who has and encourage all to keep fighting and those who have not been affected to give and help. That's why I support the Breast Cancer Site.
