One of my biggest health concerns is breast cancer. I have seen some one of my really close friends go through this disease and it is heart breaking. When my friend found out she had cancer, she was pregnant with her 2nd child, they were unable to do much about it due to her pregnancy. Immediately after the birth of her child she underwent chemo and other treatments. She has since then had both of her breasts removed. She was so strong throughout all of the processes, and is doing so much better today. I am thankful there are so many wonderful treatments today and able to help her beat cancer. She is now raising both of her children and cancer free!
The first lady I interviewed was a friend of mine, Jeanette, 48 years old, black. When asking Jeanette what her biggest health concern was she said heart disease. Heart disease runs in her family and she has seen many members of her family suffer and die from the disease. I am concerned about heart disease as well, as we need to know as much as we can and learn how to prevent the disease. Women need to be well educated on taking care of themselves with the right amout of exercise and eating healthy.
The second lady I interviewed was my monther, Cathy, 57 years old, white. Her biggest concern was cancer, it actually terrifies her. This disease runs in our family and we have seen a few family members suffer with the disease. Of course, this is a big concern of mine as well as I have seen what this disease can do to people and families.
