Breast Cancer Diagnosed In 10-Year-Old California Girl

May 19, 2009

Breast cancer has been diagnosed in a 10-year-old California girl.<br /> .....Washington (dbTechno) - Breast cancer has been diagnosed in a 10-year-old California girl.

The 10-year-old is the youngest girl ever to suffer from breast cancer in the U.S.

The girl, Hannah Powell-Auslam, is now receiving treatment to try and beat the disease.

Needless to say, the diagnosis of breast cancer shocked everyone, including doctors as they have never seen anybody diagnosed at such a young age.

The young 5th grade student told her parents she felt something on her rib cage area.

When doctors checked it out, they found it to be a malignant tumor.

The cancer was later found in a lymph node during the mastectomy procedure.

The 10-year-old is going to fully recover, but this is still a shocking case nonetheless.

    This unfortunately is not the youngest patient with breast cancer.
    Secretory carcinoma was first fully described in 1966 by McDivitt and Stewart(McDivitt RW, Stewart FW. Breast Carcinoma in children. JAMA 1966; 195:388-390) in a report on seven patients whose ages ranged from 3 to 15 years, averaging 9 years.

    Go and get your soon-to-be -mandatory franken-flu shots. Head home in the carbon-monoxide to dinner and pass some more GM corn, and monsanto peas. And a super-sized cola. Have some more ice-cream (with free blood and pus) made from hormone laden cows Later wash it all down with fluoridated water, sit on your ass and watch TV.

    That about cover it

    Eat real food. Don’t drink sodas.

    The life expectancy in the US for US born people fell below 68 years.

    Something is wrong.
