Hannah Powell-Auslam is unlike any normal fifth grader in La Mirada,CA. The thing that makes this 10-year-old different from most girls her age is the disease that plagues her life everyday. Invasive secretory carcinoma, or stage II breast cancer is what little Hannah was diagnosed with a month ago.
Hannah complained to her mother about an itch that she had on the side of her chest. After having her mom examine the area a lump was later found. Doctors told the mother that there was nothing to worry about but tests later proved to the contrary. X-rays showed a two inch tumour in Hannah's breast. She later underwent a mastectomy to get rid of the tumour.
Hannah who was at first scared of her diagnosis and stated to her mom that she just wanted to a be a normal kid has now changed her attitude.
"I'm going to set an example," Hannah states. "If there's something wrong with your body, you tell your parents."
