this reason, I have decided to write my response paper on chapter seven, “Women, Health and Reproduction.” Breast Cancer Race On page 205 of the chapter, Anderson talks about breast cancer. She says, although White women are more likely to develop it, the death rates from the disease are the same for both White and Black women (2015). This is a misleading statement. African American women are 41 percent…

There is one word that frightens the entire world: cancer. Whenever we hear this word, we automatically think of death. This disease can spring upon anyone at any time. We can see signs for awareness everywhere we look, for example, posters, tv, and magazines tell us about tests and screenings that could diminish our problem. One major sign we see is the pink ribbon symbolizing breast cancer awareness. Graphic M Design, a graphic design company, recreated this image for many websites; for…

exclusive and instantly activated cancer card, but no one ever mentions an expiration date. I assume that most people stop using their card at some point, but I'm just as certain that there are people out there who will use it indefinitely. After five years, when we get the “all clear” from our doctors, we are released from the chokehold that cancer can have on us. We become survivors, leave cancer behind, and move on with our lives. It's reasonable to think that most cancer cards would expire…

my first MRI in the Imaging Department. That same MRI found cancer. Since then, I have had hundreds of procedures, rounds of chemotherapy, and doctor appointments at Primary Children's Hospital.. But PCH is not the only hospital I can say those things about. There are two other children's hospitals that I have spent a reasonable amount of time at.

Alzheimer's and cancer are two diseases that are very costly to our nation. According to the American Cancer Society, our nation will spend over 216.6 billion treating cancer when Alzheimer’s…
