    While completing most of my clinical hours this semester in women’s health, I have had the opportunity to meet several women and have them share their own personal stories and experiences with me. One particular patient that comes to mind, is a 27-year-old woman that is expecting her first child that has a severe form of hydrocephalus.

    Cancer is a group of diseases involved in the abnormal growth of cells with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumours are cancerous, benign tumours do not spread to other parts of the body while malignant tumours can spread to other parts of the body. Leukaemia causes the DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white blood cells, to become damaged. The disease causes blood cells to grow and divide chaotically. Whereas normal blood cells die after a while and are replaced by new blood cells, produced in the bone marrow, the abnormal blood cells do not die and accumulate, occupying more space.…

I remember the doctors taking my older brother and me into a waiting area just outside my mother’s room.

He went on to tell the both of us that mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and her situation was progressively getting worst, but there were ways to treat the disease. Being only six years old at the time, I was not able to encompass the severity of the problem and the understanding to why my brother was crying so intensely over the situation.…
