My Friend Betty

Betty is my neighbor that lives across the street from me. She is 45 years old. She just recently went to the doctor and he said, "You have breast cancer." She felt very bad, and the doctor told her not to worry. Everything will be alright. I visit her every Wednesday morning for coffee. I felt so bad when I heard her news. Alice, who is her neighbor too, came over to her house with her husband, Mike. We all played cards together. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. While we were there the phone rang and Betty answered. It was Marizeth, her friend from Brazil. She called because she heard about Betty's news, and Betty said, "Don't worry, my life will be fine." The doctor detected the breast cancer early. "This is the reason all women should have their mammograms done every year," said Betty.
