NEVER GIVE UP

Today I read the story of a daughter who's mother had breast cancer. This story stood out to me because one of my teachers just passed away because of breast cancer. Everyone loved her.
My teacher Ms. Hoof was a loving teacher who loved all her students and teaching the most. I had her for french class my junior year and she was such a wonderful teacher to us students. Through all her teaching I never seen her get really angry at us and start yelling. I've always seen her be such a graceful person. I remember she would always let me turn in work late even if it was like two weeks late. I am not saying she is a good teacher because she let me turn in my work because it was late. I am saying because she had a amazing heart she let me turn it in. I will always remember my french teacher Ms. Hoof who helped us and inspired us to do better in life.

When think about breast cancer or cancer the only thing that runs through my mind is death and pain. I researched on how many women dies from breast cancer I found out that women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 lifetime chance of developing breast cancer and a 1 in 33 chance of breast cancer causing death. According to the Cancer Society, approximately 44,000 women die from breast cancer annually. I can't imagine what it would feel like going through the pain all the women who had breast cancer. I can't believe that they would have to go through it. So many questions that are wanting to be answered. So I've done some research on breast cancer and
my research shows and says that Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with a rather unpredictable outcome and is the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. Over 150,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and 45,000 women die of this disease every year in the United States alone.
Breast cancer is a serious illness affecting not only the physical, but also the emotional well being of many women around the world.Initially, feelings of shock, devastation, disappointment, failure, guilt and/or anger are the most common presentations. Later, denial is followed by acceptance, but ultimately a certain percentage of patients experience varying degrees of anxiety and depression. Similar reactions have also been observed in recurrent breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer in developed countries is 200 to 250 per 100,000 women per year. Despite this progress, the rate of decline in breast cancer mortality in the last 20 years has not been significant and the question of "why women die from breast cancer" remains unanswered.

My thoughts about the story of MY MOTHER has taught me that life is a precious gift that we shouldn't take for granted. It has me think more about what life has in stored for me, what God has in stored for me. Even though sometimes we may not always get what we want but yet we have everything we need I learned that I need to appreciate my parents and God for just what I have because not everyone has what I have. This story has also made me realize that I need to spend time with my mother because I don't know how much time I have left. My mother means a lot to me and if something happened to her I don't know what I would do. My time with my mother is important because I know that our bond is unbreakable. I know that no one can love my mother like I do. Through reading and learning I have come to know that no matter what nothing can stand in the way of a women of love who's love is unconditional and unstoppable.

By seeing these results, nothing but death and pain runs through my head. Just seeing and hearing women go through breast cancer makes me think that women will no longer survive as long as men. But I believe that God will help us women if we just let his son come into our lives and serve him for as long as we should live. It hurts me to see women go through this disease because women deserve to live in happiness and not always think about fear and death. Sometimes I think that maybe I will get breast cancer because sometimes things happen. But I thank God for being the loving father that he is for keeping me healthy and for letting me live this long. I just pray that all the women out there who are suffering from breast cancer, I encourage you to be strong and live life as if it is your first and last. I pray that God will destroy your disease and make you into a stronger person. I pray that every women on earth will take care of themselves and be strong for others. I know that with God everything is going to be okay. Live, laugh, and love like it is your last. God is on your side and so am I.
