Also in my third paragraph, I think it is important to talk about how most women live and cope with breast cancer, because there are some women who cannot be saved from this type of cancer. I decided to sequence my paragraphs this way, because I think this will help create a flow in my research paper. I do not know much about breast cancer, but I think that discussing about the tests, treatments, and living and coping are put together in a logical
