Dear Cancer,

   You have hurt my mother, you have hurt her mother. You have killed my great aunt, and took my grandmother out of my life. You do not discriminate against age, race, gender, or religion. You are vicious and cruel, and don't have remorse. I will never get an apology from you, nor will you ever apologize to the people you have so cruelly affected in my life. You are the essence of evil and ignore the rules of karma. For that, I hate you. I hate you so much. I have a tattoo on my right foot. "Fight like a girl." That's what my mother did, her mother did and her aunt did. My Father's mother did it, and her sisters did it.
     My name is Jessi, it is my 19th birthday, and I discovered an abnormality with my left breast last night. I haven't had the courage to tell anyone, and I have honestly never been so scared in my life. It is just a cyst. I know it. I am far too young for this to affect me, but regardless, in the next week, I will go in for my first mammogram. Wish me luck.
                                -xoxo, Jessi
