Well, my infection has not gotten better, as a matter of fact, I am doing worse, I have 3 days of antibiotics left and then I don't know what will happen. My jaws are swelling again and half of one of my back teeth fell out last night. It broke from all of the swelling and medications I am taking, and I have another on the other side that is getting ready to do the same thing. My infections are not in my teeth or even about my teeth, it is in the "pockets" at the back of each side of the mouth where the jaw joint attaches (this is where the swelling originates from the mumps). I have a golf ball size hard area half way between my chin and the jaw and its painful to the touch. The sinus infection has worsened a lot and so has my bronchitis.…

The purpose of my speech being on Breast Cancer, is simply to inform my audience about what Breast Cancer is, who/what it effects and its early detection.…
“Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of death in both men and women in the US, with over 158,900 deaths in 1999. Worldwide, lung cancer kills over 1 million people a year. Extensive prospective epidemiologic data clearly establish cigarette smoking as the major cause of lung cancer. It is estimated that about 90% of male lung cancer deaths and 75–80% of lung cancer deaths in the US are caused by smoking each year” (Hecht, 1999). Clearly, lung cancer is an important and widespread disease that constitutes a major public health problem. This was not always so. Some 150 years ago, it was an extremely rare disease. In 1878, malignant lung tumors represented only 1% of all cancers seen at autopsy in the Institute of Pathology of the University of Dresden in Germany. By 1918, the percentage had risen to almost 10% and by 1927 to more than 14%. In the 1930 edition of the authoritative Springer Handbook of Special Pathology it was duly noted that malignant lung tumors had begun to increase at the turn of the century and perhaps even more so after World War I and that, possibly, they still were on the increase. It was also noted that while most lung tumors occurred in men, there seemed to be a steady increase in women. Duration of the disease, from being recognized until death, was usually from half a year to 2 years and in practically all cases there had been a long history of chronic bronchitis.…
