POSTED 2 YEARS AGO

Although it is possible for women under the age of 18 to develop breast cancer, it is not as common as it is in older women. We never thought we would see the day when a ten year-old little girl was diagnosed with breast cancer.




When Hannah Powell's mother noticed her daughter scratching her breast, she asked her what was up. After hearing that her nipple had been itchy, she investigated further and discovered a lump in her breast. She took Hannah to the doctor, where tests were run and she was eventually diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. As far as her treatment goes, it is still unclear whether she will be treated by a pediatric oncologist or a breast cancer specialist.

Follow Hannah's story, give her encouraging words and find out more at ourlittlesweetpea.com.

Here's how you can help - educate yourself. Early detection is your best bet for prevention. Keep A Breast recommends all women begin self breast exams as soon as they are fully developed, between the ages of 10-16.

Not sure how to do a self-breast exam? No problem. Some of the ladies from Keep A Breast along with dudes from bands like Rise Against, Gym Class Heroes, Paramore, The Pink Spiders, Thursday and more are here to show you how.


Help us spread the word about early detection and prevention of breast cancer by choosing Keep A Breast as your Cause on SocialVibe.
