It all started in …… when the chemo stopped working and when surgeries were a normal thing for Grandma Botbyl. Being a thirteen year old and getting told that your grandma has cancer again for the second time was a rough start my seventh grade year. Being diagnosed and then misdiagnosed with cancer was something I couldn’t trust anymore, and I couldn’t trust the doctors at this point. Moving from doctor to doctor, trying to find an answer to all of these problems that are being caused was hard. Cancer is moving from place to place, left and right, until …. came around. Growing up with both of my grandmas struggling and dealing with cancer, I got an idea of how the long journey would go. After the latest surgery to remove all the cancer from Grandma Botbyl, I got to witness the loving family in the crowded hospital room all together feeling God’s presence able to call Grandma Botbyl ‘cancer free.’ …show more content…
So many questions came to my mind...is my grandma cancer free for real this time? Will she go through another surgery? Is Gram going to die? Why did God choose Grandma? My grandma is one of the strongest people I have ever met and ever will meet. Christmas of 2015 I thought would be her last and that I should take it all in for maybe the last Christmas Eve together. 2016 comes around the corner and Grandma Botbyl is sitting on the couch surrounded by her loving family on another Christmas Eve thankful for God’s presence. I am glad to say that Grandma Botbyl is now cancer free and God really did bring me alone with my family through one bumpy
Sorry but this one has been proven - and educators in the field have agreed with me when I have asked about it at the local hospitals and breast cancer awareness talks. I don't remember the numbers - but in general if you take all women as a group - having your first child before 30 and over the course of childbearing - nursing kids (I forget how many) to age 1 reduces cancer by 30% But if you take the subset of people with a family history - the reduction is like 60 or 70% of course that does no t mean ZERO! Some of those people will still get it - but it is a huge reduction in risk! Of course not every person who has no children or later children will get breast cancer - that's just ridiculous! It is a real reduction in risk - it is proven

In 2005 my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, just like Gus, but for her it was for the first time, not a recurrence. When my grandmother had breast cancer, had was 61 years-old. She started to think she had cancer when she saw a weird lump on her skin. Worried, she hurried to her doctor and asked her doctor about it. Her doctor performed a biopsy, a test that determines whether her skin on her breast had cancerous cells, on a section of her skin where she suspected cancer. The test came back positive and she had breast cancer. In the following months her body was bombarded by multiple rounds of chemotherapy every week. During chemotherapy she began to act just like Gus did when he had
Introduction Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. In 2011, just under 50,000 women were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.

When I was a kid, I always wondered why it took so long for an ill person to become well again. I always thought that if the ill person went to the doctor they would be back to normal the next day, but that’s not the case. For some people it took several days, weeks, months, and even years to conquer an illness but as a child I never could understand that. I don’t know how many times I’ve asked my mom or dad how come the doctors don’t get together and make a “miracle” drug that could heal anything and everything. It wasn’t until the age of 15 when my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer that I understood why it took so long for others to heal and the process that they had to endure in order to be healthy again. Shortly after my grandmother’s diagnosis, I started looking into what it would take to get a drug that would cure cancer through the approval process on the shelf to save some many others just like my grandmother. But I kept running into a dead end. Everything seemed to keep pointing towards chemotherapy and radiation. Although I wanted something to heal my grandmother fast, chemotherapy and radiation was the only solution if I had wish to see her watch me graduate high school. I went to almost every appointment with her to watch how it helped strengthen but also watch as it drained her energy. A month of chemotherapy and a few weeks of radiation and my

It’s October of your fifth grade year, at the end of the day. You’ve gotten back into the swing of things, your teacher is awesome, and you’re at the top of the elementary school food chain. You’re about to walk outside. The weather is beautiful; the trees are still mostly green with a few ambitious leaves already changing color. The sky is blue and the sun is shining in the way it only does during fall. You’re going to remember how it felt to walk across the parking lot on that day for a long time. You’re happy, like you normally are when you leave school, and you get in the car. That’s when Mom tells you your little brother has cancer.
