8-year-old American Girl Becomes Youngest Breast Cancer Patient by skobaskata(op): 2:08pm On May 13, 2016

An 8-year-old American girl, Chrissy Turner has gone into the history books as the youngest known person to be diagnosed with BREAST CANCER.
Chrissy was diagnosed of having a rare form of breast cancer last October when she noticed a painful lump on her right breast.

She was then taken to the hospital where a surgical procedure was carried out to remove her right breast.
She has since been discharged and is currently on remission. All she does now is a 3-monthly visit for check-up while she has resumed school and her usual routine.

Its worrisome when 8-year-old are diagnosed with breast cancer which is supposed to affect older women. Though Chrissy's father and mom had at different times been treated for cancer in the past.
