Ana Juarez - Ana Juarez's Week 9 Reading Journal lyrics

10/7/13 Today I read about Michelle Langbehn.Has endured nine months of chemotherapy, two cycles of radiation, a spinal fusion and several tumor removal surgeries.But the cancer that's attacking her body continues to spread, and her future treatment options are limited.Every week, hundreds of patients like Langbehn are admitted to new clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health. But as of Tuesday, these patients are being put on hold until the government resumes operation.Every week, about 200 new patients come to the NIH.Patients are now being told they will have to wait until the government starts up again.They all say "I speak for everyone battling cancer when I saw we don't have time to wait." Langbehn's oncologist gave her two years to live 10/9/13 Today I read about the flu.During the heat of summer, people tend to forget about the flu. Yet as high temperatures begin to decline, we're reminded that influenza, a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and even d**h, will soon return.Public health officials have been busy making and planning for the distribution of millions of doses of the flu vaccine to protect Americans in the upcoming season.Getting vaccinated each year remains the best way to protect yourself against the seasonal flu and lessen the chance you will spread the infection to others.each year between 3,000 and 49,000 people in the United States and approximately 500,000 worldwide die from the flu and its complications.Seasonal flu vaccines reduce the risk of illness in those vaccinated by about 60% 10/10/13 Today I read about the top 10 cnn hero.

She didn't want anyone to see she had lost her hair during breast cancer treatment. She is 39, said "she found strength from the support of her husband and children."She met other women who had lost their hair in cancer treatment and realized she was not alone.In the United States, the d**h rate from all cancers among Hispanics is about 129 per 100,000 people per year.Jessica is doing good know her family sopports her and loves her.She is not shy to go out and that people see her.She is very happy because she is going thou this but my herself but with everyone that loves her
