10-year-old gets rare breast cancer

Parents of a 10-year-old girl were shocked when they found out their daughter had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“It should be the furthest thing from your mind,” Hannah’s mother Carrie Auslam told reporters from KCAL-TV in Los Angeles. “Ten-year-olds don’t get breast cancer.”

For Hannah, the realization that she would have to deal with a disease normally associated with women many times her age was a difficult one to take.

“I told my mom, I just wanna be a normal kid,” she told reporters. “I want to go back to school, play sports, hang out with my friends. So I started crying.”
