My name is sarah and I am 15 years old. Breast cancer runs through my family. My mom’s mom died from breast cancer when my mom was only 18, and now she’s 45. I just found out that my mom’s cousin, who I call my aunt, was diagnosed. The worst part is my mom will not admit it to me. I saw a text on my dad’s phone. I just don’t know how to react. I don’t have a grandma due to breast cancer and since I didn’t know her, I don’t know how to be sad. My mom and I aren’t close, and I feel like the reason is because she lost her mom. Now my aunt has it and my parents didn’t even decide to tell me makes me angry and scared. How am I supposed to have someone to talk to if they don’t know I know? Why won’t they tell me? I don’t know what stage of cancer she has, whether she’s going to die, how to reach out to her, whether or not to talk to her about it… I’m scared for her and I want to be there for her, but I don’t what to do. I don’t know what my grandma’s outlook was, but I know my aunt is ready to beat this cancer head on. I just wish I could help her!
