The Biopsychosocial Perspective of Breast Cancer For the majority of time, the biomedical model has been the main focus on many health factors and diseases, including cancer. Recently, psychologists have been able to prove the psychological and social components of disease. This has forced Doctors, who once relied solely on the biological factors of disease to take a more holistic approach. To help demonstrate the biopsychosocial model of cancer, I will be focusing on breast cancer and it’s

Functions of the lungs: The lungs are vital to every human being as they are what helps us to breathe. Lung cancer causes a large amount of stress and damage on the lungs. In your body you will find you lungs midway down your chest cavity. If you were to see your lungs outside of your body, they would look like large spongy like organs. Your left lung is smaller to allow room for your heart. As you begin to take a breath, air enters through your mouth then travels down the lungs and through

Hodgkin?s Lymphoma Hodgkin?s Lymphoma (HL), also called Hodgkin?s Disease is a rare type of lymphoma that develops when the body?s immune system produces abnormal B-lymphocytes. HL was discovered in 1832 by Dr. Thomas Hodgkin?s. HL is most commonly diagnosed by the presence of a mutated B-cell called a Reed-Sternberg cell and targets the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is comprised of many different things, tissues, nodes, vessels, capillaries, and organs. Its main function is to help the

Worldwide, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for women; is the leading cause of cancer death for women between the ages of twenty and 59; one in ten of all new cancers are female breast cancers; and the highest incidence of breast cancer in the world is in North America (Lanfranchi et al. 110). In light of these upsetting statistics, if studies had found a potential risk factor that may substantially increase a women’s risk of developing breast cancer, then women should be informed

Euthanasia “My aim in helping the patient was not to cause pain. My aim was to end suffering,” American pathologist Jack Kevorkian once said. Some agree with this quotation and some are completely against it. This quotation is discussing the topic of euthanasia. Euthanasia is the act or practice of killing or permitting the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals (such as people or domestic animal) in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy (Merriam-Webster, 2017). Euthanasia is also

What is strength? Strength can be defined in many different ways. One way is in the sense of physical strength which is having the power to move weights or an object/ obstacle. Then there is mental strength which is being able to endure and perform during adverse situations. Strength can also be tied into with courage because some people would say courage is strength. What strength to me is my mom who had stage 2 breast cancer and had to fight for her life. The reason i say that my mom has strength

When Bruce Tuckman proposed the model of group development in 1965, the model assumed four stages which include forming-storming-norming-performing stages. However, a fifth model was introduced to encapsulate the already functioning models and this model became known as the adjourning phase (Bauer & Erdogan, 2009, p. 191). This group development stages will now be described below: The first stage in the group development model is the forming stage which is a time when a group officially comes together

Conflict is known to be inseparable in all human interactions. An organization can be recognized as a unit which attempts to move towards goals, productivity, profit and success. But within the institute itself, conflicts arise everyday relating to various factors on which employees, managers and departments disagree. The amount and the seriousness of these conflicts will vary noticeably from cordial disagreement to open conflict, such as strike action. In a controlled manner, conflict can stimulate

To begin, the very first part of group development but also the class, was to form a group that you would work with throughout the whole semester. The class discussed ways to assign group members, but ultimately, the decision was to let students pick their groups. In all honesty, I was not fond of this idea, but I selected my group. I began by wanting one of the two boys in my group, because I wanted a male’s perspective throughout the project. I decided I wanted to work with Adam because I had witnessed

Cancer On July 24, 2017 I wasn't expecting to find out that one of my closest family members was diagnosed with stage 4 breast, lung, and lymph node cancer, but it did happen and it was my aunt Anne. After living with this information I’ve quickly realized that I shouldn't take family for granted because one day they could be gone. She had recently struggled with stage 2 breast cancer about three years ago and recovered positively and I thought this was the last of the pain for her but I had guessed
