The topic I chose to research and write about this semester is breast cancer. I chose this topic because my mother, unfortunately, was diagnosed with breast cancer in mid-December of last year. There is no history of breast cancer in our family, so researching and writing about it will definitely help me, as well as my family, learn and understand what the cancer is and what type of treatments are available, as well as the effects and outcome/results.
My knowledge of breast cancer is almost none. All that I know is that it is a cancer found in the breast and can be treated. With no history of cancer in my family, I have overlooked or failed to recognize this topic completely, until now.
In reasearching and writing about this topic, I am expecting to learn exactly what breast cancer is. I would also like to learn about the treatments that are offered or given after the diagnosis and the effect it/they have physically, emotionally, and/or mentally. Lastly, I would like to know the ending results of many treated victims. As mentioned before, I have very little (if any) knowledge about the topic I chose, so my hopes are high in gaining a lot of knowledge.
