    Diversity Research Paper

    I’ve always been the active type and kept my body in shape throughout my youth. Healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle allowed me to feel confident for my future quality of life as an older woman. I never thought being diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer would be the determining factor of how the last days of my life would be. Stage IV, is the later or advanced stage, refers to breast cancer that has already spread to other parts of the body when it is first diagnosed (Bellenir 2009). This means I am no longer getting treated because a cure is no longer possible in my case. Although being diagnosed with cancer has cut my life short, my outlook and attitude towards life has never been more positive and fulfilling.…

    Personal Narrative: My Family With Stage Three Breast Cancer

    In 2010 my mom was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. I remember the day well; I remember feeling afraid and confused- but mostly confused, as I was promised that my mom would be okay- that she would just be sick for a little while. I remember being told that my three year old sister wouldn’t understand, so I wasn’t to tell her anything. I remember hearing my mom cry as she told my grandparents her diagnosis- I remember feeling helpless. Fast forward two years, and the cancer was finally beaten; my mom was crowned the victor, and I pushed any thought of cancer into a deep recess of my mind. My mom’s hair grew to her shoulders, she smiled more, and once again became the happy mommy of my childhood. Then it was Thanksgiving of 2015. She had…

    Breast Cancer

    One woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes and one woman will die of breast cancer every thirteen minutes in the U.S. This is very sad but true. People know that it happens, but it’ll never happen to them, until it hits close to home. There are precautions that women can take to lower their risk of developing the disease. Knowing what to look for can save a life as far as early detection. The best thing that anyone can do is to educate themselves so that they are aware of signs and symptoms. It can start with looking up some tips online or talking to a health care professional. However, it is important to verify that the online source is credible and accurate. Being aware of preventative measures and making wise health decisions can be the difference between being cancer free, having cancer, and being in remission.…

    Breast Cancer

    Do you know what is breast cancer? Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that develops from cells in the breast. How breast cancer spreads to other parts of the body? The cancer cells grow and divide out of control, invading and damaging nearby tissues and organs. Cancer cells also break away from the original tumour and enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system.

    Breast Cancer Personal Statement

    Research in the field of health sciences has been my passion since high school. My interest in health sciences first began to bloom when my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, and following 8 years of struggle, she eventually succumbed to cancer. I would regularly go for hospital visits and would always be fascinated by seeing the treatment being performed on people. Following that, many of my other relatives were detected with cancer, and my family was told that we are at a higher risk for cancer. This made me ardent to pursue a career in the health sciences and I began to volunteer at the Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center to be able to shadow physicians, get closer to patient treatment and to familiarize myself with the hospital environment.…

    Breast Cancer and Stress

    Everyone has been touched by cancer; through family members, friends, or coworkers. Cancer does not discriminate; it affects people of all races, genders and classes. It is caused by a DNA glitch. DNA is a part of the cell that directs cell reproduction and growth. Instead of allowing for the normal, slow growth of new cells, the impaired DNA causes quick cell growth and reproduction, which takes a toll on the body. Breast cancer is a disease that mainly affects women and it is the leading type of cancer by sex and site for women, and the second leading cause of death by sex and site for women, after lung cancer. (1) In 2011, it is estimated that 23, 400 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5, 100 will die from it; approximately 64 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer on a daily basis; approximately 14 Canadian women will die of breast cancer on a daily basis; 1 in 9 women is expected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime (until age 90) and 1 in 28 will die from it; 190 men will be diagnosed with it and 55 will die from it. The good news is that breast cancer death rates have declined in all ages combined and in every age group since the mid-1990s. (2) Different lifestyle factors and genetics can have an impact on the incidence of breast cancer. (3) But what about stress; how does stress affect breast cancer incidence and treatment?…
