Act out the role of a participant in the issues discussed and explained in the sites, as if you were involved. This can take the form of a dairy or journal or you can write a short fiction story based on the information you learn.

:Breast Cancer Website:
Hi, my name is Leslie Gonzalez and I am the daughter of a breast cancer patient. My mother passed away about two years ago after struggling with this disease for almost 15 years. Before my mother was diagnosed with it I didnt really know much about the disease. But being with her through it all helped me learn a lot more about what the disease actually is. One thing that I found out was that men are also affected by this disease. Never would I have thought that men could get this disease but I was obviously wrong. When my mother first found out that she had this disease I immediately took on the initiative to research as much as I could so that I could get a better feel of what she would be dealing with. One thing that I found out was that breast cancer, for the most part, is not as common among Hispanic or Latina women as any other group of women. This is mostly because most Latina women dont find out that they have it until its in the later stages of it. Another thing that I found out was that breast cancer becomes more of a risk as one ages, which was true in the case of my mother. She was about 45 when she was diagnosed with it and died when she was 60 years old. One thing that I found that was truly mind boggling was that no one really knows what causes the disease so there isnt really much way to prevent it from happening. I only wish now that I would have known the information I know now and that I would have pushed my mother to check herself so that maybe she couldve been helped out and maybe she would still be alive now telling other young women the importance of checking yourself.





It's insane to me how many women die of breast cancer because it was detected too late, it's so sad. My aunt died of breast cancer so its something that I pay more attention to when information comes out. At work we do work for different charities for community service activies and one of our activities this summer is a walk for breast cancer and just the other day i was looking at the website and it said that 1 in 7 women in America is diagnosed with breast cancer, when last year it was 1 in 8, its so sad that more hasn't been done to stop this.
