A girl of ten has become the youngest person in America to be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Hannah Powell-Auslam has already undergone a mastectomy on her left breast.

Now she has been told the cancer has spread to a lymph node and she will need further treatment.

The rest of story is at the link. I think it's frightening, the story not the link.

This did not turn out how I thought it would. I guess I clicked the wrong thing. I wish I could delete it. I'm never doing this again.

At 10 years old I'm not sure which would make me feel worse, cancer or having my breast talked about on the news. Poor Kiddo, I hope the best for her.

It took all of 10 minutes for Hannah Powell-Auslam to lose her hair, a pre-emptive strike against the chemotherapy that would have taken it anyway.

Hannah Powell-Auslam talks about her experience with the disease.The Fullerton, Calif., 10-year-old, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in April, has had a mastectomy and been through her first chemo treatment.

And, after a few tears, she's trying to make the best of her new buzz cut.

"I always try to look on the bright side with everything," Hannah said today in a "Good Morning America" exclusive interview.

Such spunk is typical for Hannah, who is one of the few hundred children to ever have this kind of cancer.

"You feel like you're sick all the time," Hannah said of the effects of her chemotherapy. "You just want to go lay in bed and be in your closed-off little box."

I never even thought that 10 year olds could get breast cancer. That is so sad, the poor girl.

I wouldn't of thought that girl that young would or could get breast cancer.I hope she will get better.

Poor, poor girl. This is going to devastate her as she grows and reaches puberty, and the full impact of what's happened hits her. I'm assuming she will get implants later? Even that is going to be so hard on her, going from literally nothing to having boobs! Unless they do it in stages?

I hope she survives this and stays strong. She is going to need a lot of support from her family.
