From the Paper:

"It is easy to read on the net, and watch on TV how people suffer and die in chronic and incurable diseases, but not even imaginable that one's own loved ones might suffer the same. As I look back to see how it was before I came to know, either my happy past seems like a dream, or I wish this is just not real, but a nightmare that would soon be over. I still recall hearing about breast cancer from our Biology course instructor for being a malignant tumor that develops from the cells of the breast. It is the most common type of cancer among women in the United States. It is most often curable when found early."
