Susan G. Komen for the Cure

My major, communication with a minor in PR, is something that I thought a lot about. I have a passion for people and writing which lead me here. Communication is all about learning interactions with people and with outside forces. I am fascinated with this ever since I took a Communication class at LCC. I also decided on PR because of my love for writing. I have always been an English buff and writing has always come so easily to me. I thought this was a great minor because it will challenge me.…

Komen for the Cure non-profit organization. He is viewed by tens of thousands as a saint, heaven sent or a reincarnation of Jesus himself.

Breast Cancer My paternal grandmother has batteld cancer three times. She was diagnosed with breast cancer first and then six years later with ovarian cancer. Both times, she had to have radiation to cure her from the cancer. After four years of being in remission, the cancer came back. This time it was on a viscous rampage. My grandmother had to receive a month of intense chemotherapy and two critical surgeries to remove the tumors that were invading her body. Seeing her go through all of this…

since there is no cure for it. It is because of this that metaphors as “Race for the Cure” and “The fight against cancer” were created. However, these metaphors don’t really help out cancer patients. For example, when a patient hears the metaphor “The fight against Cancer”, he might think of his body as a war zone.

After I picked my jaw from my desk, I started pondering what could the cancer treatment breakdown be that warrants the price to be so high? I, of course, am aware of how corrupt the healthcare system is in the US, but, to what extent, not so much. The medical jargon used in the hospital bill, along with…
