The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, talked about the black woman He La suddenly suffered from cervical cancer disease, which has tumor to kill cells, and she had to cure in radium treatment and against it. This was the exam for her. She had married with her husband Day, when he heard his wife's disease, he was worried about the disease of treatment, and he studied cancer information from medical textbooks. Although many patients cured in radium treatment, they were color and their doctors discriminate against them, as a result, they died in cancer. He La's doctors were reporting cancer treatment in their laboratory, and they had to do sample so they needed to patients' tumor cells, and tried to grow them up, and killed them in radium treatment. But they almost failed and nobody could will to give their own bodies to doctors doing report. Therefore, the doctors didn't tell He La about her tumor cells to cut down to put on the glass to give the lab.
I think that Hela was kind and courage woman. she could fight with disease, and I learned about cancer from normal cells because normal cells became sick.
Do you think when Hela found out she had cancer she didn't tell her family that was a good thing?
