Liver Cancer-Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
Two years ago I learned that one phone call can change your whole life. This is a story about when I got a call about my cousin and how she got liver cancer. Liver cancer is very hard to cure since it has already spread through liver to much so it's hard to find where the original dead cell that started killing the other cells. Sadly she didn't make it and she was only 13 years old and was fighting for 2 years I wish I would have spent more time with her, but now she’s in a better place. I'm happy to know that.

When writing this essay, I was very invested in telling the audience how I had felt and describing what had happened with my dad’s cancer as best as I could. In making these revisions I thought it would be a good way to look back on how I viewed the situation when I first wrote this right after it happened compared to how I feel about it now after several months.…
