Hi my friends! In this post I'm going to talk about what happened to me yesterday. Yesterday I went to my regular classes at night and also heard an exposition. This exposition was in the conferences room of the high school and it was about breast cancer. Breast Cancer is an illness that affect usually women but in some cases men too. I took some notes about this and i'd like to share some information about it. First, it is an illness that occurs when breast cells become abnormal and divide without control or order. Also it is the most common form of cancer in the United States. The person in charge of the exposition said that Long Island is the second city with high rates of brest cancer in the US. People with high rates of breast cancer are Caucasian, Latinos and black people. Later,she said that breast cancer doesn't ofen occur in teenagers. However, it s important to start taking care of our body now. It can prevent this illness making breast selft exams after shower and leaving the bad habit of smoking, drinking and eating fast or greasy food. Overweight people have most risk to get this sickness. If you feel a little protuverance in your breast, please go to the doctor that it can be a tumor. Breast cancer can be treated if it is detected in time. Otherwise it can be very dangerous if you get a malignan tumor and the result can be to lose your breast with a surgery. I think this is something that everybody really didn't like to happen. Well, also I was recording a short video in the exposition and i hope it likes you. Bye and see u in the next...

I watched the videos, Harold. Thanks for posting them. It's scary that Long Island has such high rates of breast cancer. Isn't it? I know they haven't proved that there is one particular environmental factor, but it's hard to believe there isn't something in the environment that is causing the high rates of breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteThe speaker was excellent, I thought, and it's great the hospital has an outreach program like this. I think it's wonderful that someone was translating for the (I assume) Haitian students. You are getting some great experiences through this other program you're in.
