Cancer Personal Narrative

Everyone hears the word “Cancer” and automatically thinks death? Imagine being told you have cancer a month before Christmas and having to start chemotherapy right away. That was me at age 16 barely a junior in High School, they say high school is supposed to be a great experience. And it was at the beginning which was my freshman and sophomore year. I was that girl athlete with lots of friends who went day by day not caring about my health I would eat lots of junk food and stay up late at night. I come from a Hispanic family single parent my mom and 4 siblings 3 girls and one boy. Two had already gotten married and there was only 3 left at home including me. My mom would work out in the fields so sometimes she 'd come home late, therefore

The Diagnosis for many especially those who are the diagnosed can be the scariest thing. Seeing this first hand with my grandmother who did not want to tell anyone of what had happened it was tough. I was a little less then fifteen when I went to live with my grandmother for a short time. She quickly showed me things like cooking and gardening and the value of hard work so when I overheard her talking to my grandfather about having to get chemo the next day I was beside myself. She finally told me the next day about her diagnosis. Though we may care for those diagnosed seldom do we ever truly know what they are going through? I mean how often do you have things you

Cancer is sometimes referred to as the big C, the C word. When people hear it, they freeze up in silence as though they have seen a ghost. In October, 2005 at the age of 3 I was diagnosed with a rare cancer that only affects 2 to 3 people out of million. After laying on the couch for several days, and complaining of a stomach I was taken to the doctor there we found out that I had Liver Sarcoma. At this time my mom was in the navy so I was admitted into Madigan Army Medical Center, but left soon later and went to Children's Hospital. I didn't really understand what was happening at that time because everything was happening, so fast that I couldn't keep up. From my Nana moving from Texas to Washington St to live with us, to being in the hospital

“We can’t go out tonight. I already told you that.” Cali told her best friend Caleb now very annoyed.

When I found out that my mother had cancer, I was in shock and did not know how to take everything in. She decided that her being diagnosed with cancer will be the best thing that ever happened to her, not the worst. At 37 years old my mother was diagnosed with stage I breast cancer. She discovered the cancer at a very early stage, which was very lucky and satisfying to hear. The way my mother discovered she had, it was an insane experience for the both of us. She started having pain in November of 2016 in her left armpit; she did not think of it as such a vast deal so she just ignored it. Nevertheless the pain got worse over time and eventually she went to see a doctor.

I woke up on Christmas morning to the sweet smell of coffee coming from down the hall. I jump up with excitement put my red fluffy slippers on and make my way to the kitchen telling myself that today is going to be an unforgettable day.

Being diagnosed with a terminal disease will shock any person, but when you have to tell a child, it really changes your perspective. Little kids bounce back from a lot of things, but it is their support system that gets them there.

Being diagnosed with cancer I knew I only had one option and that was to take it to the Lord and when I did, wow! He not only healed me He delivered me too of addictions! I repented of my sins to Jesus with my whole heart and He healed me! Not instantly it was a process for months, everything except drinking and smoking that He did

I never wanted to be fluent in cancer. I was content with my unrealized ignorance of oncological jargon and procedures. However, on April 10th 2015, when my husband was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, I quickly went from being ignorant of this disease, to consumed by it. The day of his diagnosis I began to educate myself on the role of caretaker and took post in a position that I would both loath and treasure.

This experience changed me, this might change you. The experience I had was sad, and this was when I had heard that my sister Riley had got Cancer for the third or forth time. I was ten at the time and also I didn’t know much about Cancer until my mom told me how bad it was and what it could do.

When I was a child my friend, Abby, was diagnosed with leukemia. At the time, I didn’t understand how serious of a diagnosis that was, I just assumed that it was just like any other illness; she would get better. She did not get better. Abby was eight years old when she died. The memorial was a somber affair; I didn’t know how to react. We were both eight but only one of us got to be nine. I finally understood what leukemia was, a death sentence.

My invention was a cure for cancer. I was eighteen when discovered the cure, i’m twenty-three now. The cure as made me the first ever person to create a cure for cancer.I was a senior in high school and I heard about more and more people dying from cancer. I didn’t like hearing about lots of people dying from this uncured disease.That made me try to make a cure for cancer.

One day, I was on facebook and had stumbled upon a shared video about a cancer patient, who is now in remission, talking about her story. But as the video progressed, I noticed that the point of the video wasn’t to share her cancer story; she was actually introducing the idea that there’s an existing cure for cancer.

The best scientific breakthrough would absolutely be a cure for cancer. Many families would be spared from the pain, and grief that cancer causes. In addition, curing cancer also has a significant meaning to me. My mom had endometrial cancer and without her, I would not be the man I am today. My first real experience with cooking was with my mom. It was a cold, crisp night in December. My parents were making breakfast for dinner while I was sitting on the carpet watching the Falcons game. Engrossed in the game, I heard my mom yell " Come here, tonight you learn how to make bacon and eggs." Hearing the words bacon and eggs, I jumped up instantly and sprinted downstairs into the kitchen. On the counter I was fascinated by the assortment of stainless

Cancer is something that not only affects the person diagnosed with it, but also the people who know them. When my grandmother got colon cancer in 2008, the family was distraught with the news and didn’t know how to react. After she had died from cancer in 2009, I wasn’t aware of exactly what kind of cancer she had and how the severity was. I didn’t even know what each of the stages meant. After I found out what kind of cancer she had, I still wasn’t sure how it was caused, what kind of effects it had, what kind of treatments she had, and if there was any way it could’ve been prevented.
