One battle that is not easy to fight, but winning the battle is worth it all is breast cancer. The reason I chose to write about breast cancer is because my aunt who means a lot to me was diagnosed with it a few years ago. Many people hear and discuss about breast, but they do not what it means and why it is important. When a tumor that is malignant is found in the cells in the breast and its spreads through the surrounding tissues in the breast is known as breast cancer. Most women are not usually alert if they have the disease because they do not know how to check for lumps in their breasts. Some do not even know the common symptoms for breast cancer. Most women do not know that can check for lumps in their breast by themselves by doing a self-examination. In the self-examination, the woman can wait until they are in the shower or while they are lying down. They can take three fingers and move it in a circular motion, gently around the breast and feel for lumps and knots. Women can squeeze each nipple lightly to make sure there is no discharge coming out during the self-examination. However, majority of women do have lumps in their breast, but it is normal.
Breast cancer symptoms is not something an individual will feel as a soon as possible. Not every women has the same symptoms when it comes to breast cancer. There are numerous of different symptoms to distinguishing breast cancer in the female body. Some symptoms may be that the woman may see a change in the size of her breast or the breast may have a different shape than the other. The breast having an unaware discharge coming out of the nipple is another example of a symptom. Other variations of symptoms can be swelling or itching of the breast, an itchy rash on the nipp...

...ancer. I always believed that working out was not as important as everyone made it seem to be, but now I am mindful about it. I can share all the information with my family members and my peers, to enlighten them about the disease, the symptoms, the risks, and the preventions.
For the research paper, the topic I chose was breast cancer. I spoke about why I chose to do research on breast cancer, because my aunt battled with breast cancer a few years ago and died. The research I conducted was to inform my readers about breast cancer. My research paper contained what is breast cancer that was introduce in my first paragraph. In my paper, there were examples of symptoms such as, pulling in of the nipple and the discharge coming out of the nipple, statistics in men and women, causes of breast cancer, treatments of breast cancer, and ways to reduce risk of breast cancer.
It is usually found in one breast but can affect both breast at the same time. Increase in lump size and breast tenderness happens just before the menstrual cycle and decreases in size and resolution after the menstrual cycle. Having one or many cysts does not increase one’s risk of breast cancer but it may interfere with the ability to detect abnormal changes that may need to be evaluated. The supporting tissue that gives the breast shape is made up of fatty tissue and fibrous connective tissue. Cysts develop when there is an overgrowth of glands and fibrocystic changes within the milk ducts causing them to dilate and fill with fluid (Laronga et
Over the past decade breast cancer has become one of the most predominant diseases in the United States. Breast cancer starts out as a malignant tumor in the tissues of the breast which is formed from the uncontrolled growth of abnormal breast cells. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it can also appear in men. (Stephan, 2010)
I gave my name, my relationship to the issues and explain briefly about the policy and how it effects women only, which is how my research paper starts as. My relationship to this issue is important because it shows that I know and benefit from having birth control in my live.
I agree PARiHS and the RE-AIM fits perfectly for your problem statement. I currently work at a research facility and would like pursue clinical research as career. Thus, I understand the importance of research in any situation or problem. Research implementation is a crucial element in your problem statement. Finding the applicable research/ clinical evidence such as vitamin D’s impact on reducing uterine fibroid in female patients, and then implementing this to a specific population, African American women, is the ideal method.
About 12% of women in the United States will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, more than any other type of cancer (www.breastcancer.org, 2015). Many people lack the knowledge of how breast cancer is developed. Some people think they will not get cancer because they do not smoke cigarettes, but this is not the only cause of cancer developing in the breast. Anyone can get cancer. Everyone is potentially at risk for developing some form of Cancer (American Cancer Society, 2015).
Ways to early detect would be self-breast exams at home, annual mammograms and genetic testing for the BCRA1 and the BCRA2 abnormal gene. It has been said that when people are tested for the abnormal gene and are found to carry it, it is normally passed from either parent. Not only do women develop breast cancer, but men are also at risk. If detection is caught early enough there can be a high survival rate. Some symptoms and signs are a lump, change in size or shape of breast, nipple pain, discharge or bleeding of the nipple, change of skin color and texture, or breast becoming swollen or feels warm. It is advised to seek medical attention upon discovery of signs and symptoms. It can possibly allow a better treatment option for
Doing this research paper has given me more information and background knowledge about my topic. For the first part we had to write about what we knew, thought, and/or imagined. The second part was about the research. Having to do research about sexuality and how it is determined has made me understand that there is no right or wrong answer for it. Although, at the beginning I believed your sexuality was a choice. I was able to increase my understanding of the controversy of it being about genetics or more of a choice.
To conclude, I am passionate about sharing the emphasis for ALL women to do monthly self check breast exams along with an annual breast mammogram. These exams and tests are mandatory in order to detect early stage breast cancer. Remember, age is just a number. Cancer can and does affect young people! The emotional journey was a shocking wakeup call for me and the experience has affected everyone in my family in one way or another. I am proud to say that I am a 2.5 year breast cancer survivor! I want all who are dealing with this disease to know that when in doubt, turn to that infamous pink ribbon for a symbol of faith, hope, and courage, as you move forward.
Historically speaking breast cancer has been around for hundreds of years. Thankfully the treatment has improved. Patients who get the cancer removed and take care of themselves after, for example, by exercising and eating healthy, will live longer. There are many risks that increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer, for instance, age, family history, and race. A women who made history with breast cancer was Betty Ford, Betty was one of the first lady’s to speak openly about her disease. Betty encouraged women who have been affected with the disease to go to their doctor as soon as possible and told women who had shared that they didn’t have breast cancer to do self breast exams regularly and get mammograms. She also said when women get diagnosed with it don’t be embarrassed. Treatments in the past were pretty good and quite the same compared to the treatments given to people now, for instance, mastectomy’s which was the primary...
Almost 1 in 8 women in the United States will get breast cancer and for men, it is about 1%. The causes of breast cancer is unknown. Some risk factors for women with breast cancer are a past history of family members having breast cancer, doing hormone therapy, or having dense breast tissue. Some symptoms of this disease include a small bump on breast or armpit and thickening or inflammation of the breast. In treating breast cancer, surgery and radiation may weaken or destroy cancer cells. If the cancer is not dangerous then the surgeons will only take out the tumor but if it is really dangerous then they will take out the entire
Deciding upon a topic of interest is not a difficult task. It is easy to find a subject matter of interest to research. The part that most students struggle with is taking that area of interest into an arena of research that examines problems specific to your particular discipline. Articulating your research goals is done by formulating a research problem. Characteristics of Research Problem
When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, her whole life comes to a halt. Awareness plays a vital role in the detection of any lumps or
Breast cancer is dangerous and common. One of the symptoms of breast cancer is that you will feel a lump in your armpit. Breast cancer kills five hundred twenty, two thousand people each year.

From all the things that I have covered, none of them were as trying as the inevitable research paper. I was worried about the final product and the grade I would receive because I have not had much luck with writing research papers in the past. I find them to be too tedious when having to cite research and quotations that I often did it incorrectly. My works cited page was often messy and unorganized and I could never find enough things to say about my topic in order to fulfill the designated word quota. This time around, I felt a little more confident because I had an outlined guide found in my “Common Sense” text that helped me overcome my worry about the specifics of citing and quoting as well as the organization of my works cited page....
