Discoveries have linked certain viruses to cancer growth. The hepatitis B virus is related to liver cancer. Women who develop cervical cancer have had a human papilloma virus (HPV) infection but not all women with HPV infection will develop cervical cancer. Stomach ulcers are likely caused by Helicobactor pylori, or H. pylori a bacteria and the ulcers can grow into cancer. Viruses attack cells in the body and once these cells are corrupted they begin to grow uncontrollably, eventually leading to cancer.

I first saw Charnette on the Oprah show in October 2002. It was a show about young women with breast cancer. I had just completed my chemotherapy and radiation treatments that month. I was glued to the television. The show followed Charnette and two other women through tests and treatments. I knew how these young women felt. I was one of them.
