Jampolis, Melina. "Does diet really matter in breast cancer?" CNN.com. 28 Oct. 2011. CNN. Dr. Jampolis discusses the importance of maintaining a healthy diet in her Q&A with breast cancer. She stresses that the risk could potentially be decreased up to 38% by keeping a healthy weight and exercising regularly and keeping alcohol consumption in moderation. She claims that being overweight or obese could up your risk of getting breast cancer. This credible source from a well-respected doctor on CNN is extremely useful in using to inform my audience in which habits to develop in order to prevent breast cancer. I will definitely be using this source. I will be using this source as a way of giving advice on my research paper on the importance of keeping a healthy body and diet.

Cancer Consultants. "More Personalized Breast Cancer Screening May Detect Disease Better." Annals of Internal Medicine. 2011: 155. Opposing Views. Web. Chandler Public Library. This article could just be one of the biggest findings in breast cancer research. Basically, most breast cancer mammograms are applied with a single set of guidelines used for most women but the more personalized screenings might help detect the risk of the disease more effectively. Since females do not have the same breast size and density, this is a very ideal way of screening but it might take more time and money rather than the traditional guidelines more often used. But I don't think that should matter when a life is on the line. This is a credible source from a well trusted database and it was acquired from a medical book, Annals of Internal Medicine. Its purpose is to show women that more personalized mammogram screenings might help them in detecting breast cancer. I don't plan on using this source mainly because I don't think it would really make a difference.

Stein Rob. "FDA revokes Avastin's approval for breast cancer treatment." National, Health and Science. Washington Post. Web. 18 November 2011. Rob Stein explains the FDA's decision to revoke their approval for the use of Avastin as breast cancer treatment. The FDA under Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg issued their decision claiming that the drug had done more harm than good to the patients. Many studies indicate that Avastin have serious side effects such as bleeding, and heart attacks. Avastin is still undergoing many types of research and as time goes on, we will be able to fully tell whether it is worth to utilize or not. The use of Avastin is still an ongoing debate. Even though it has been revoked by the FDA, patients can still choose its treatment, whether through sole purchases or donations by certain organizations. This is a very important source since Avastin is a possible alternative in curing breast cancer even in its advanced stages. I find myself using this source as a way of opposing the use of Avastin to make a very balanced argument in how breast cancer should be cured.

Associated Press. "Studies suggest Avastin may fight early breast cancer; drug lost OK in US for advanced cases." National Health and Science - Washington Post. Web. 25 Jan. 2012. The usage of Avastin with breast cancer patients might be reconsidered and the article by the Associated Press explains that the debate might be reopened. Studies have shown that Avastin slows down cancerous tumors and even makes them disappears. It sounds like a miracle drug but it is not without its side effects because it can also cause heart problems, bleeding, and a handful of others. Many studies are still being conducted so the validity of the usage of Avalin is still pending. This resource might prove useful if I were to use it later in the year, but as of right now I won't. The studies are still going on right now and if they were to finish later and show positive numbers, then I would use it. It is a good alternative to the traditional chemotherapy and Avalin's research has the potential to change how breast cancer is treated.

This source has given me an understanding on how breast cancer works and I see myself using this extremely helpful source in my research.

Politicizing Breast Cancer: Komen Foundation's "Race For Controversy" Dubno, Dan. "Politicizing Breast Cancer: Komen Foundation's "Race For Controversy." Politics. Huffington Post. Web. 2 Feb. 2012. Dan Dubno explains the possibilities of foul play within the Susan B. Komen Foundation, the most well-funded breast cancer charity. He suspects that the foundation has halted their subsidizing of cancer screenings and education in Planned Parenthood clinics due to the conservative leadership of the Komen Foundation. An organized smear upon Planned Parenthood was used as the primary excuse for the denial of services to women in need. The conservative heads in Komen say it is for the sake of pro-life. Dubno believes that it is just political ploy in order to gain votes from the prolife demographic within America, especially since it is election time. The source does a great idea of exposing the information to the reader in a very emotional and ethical approach. It is biased in a sense that it only shows one side and refuses to show the other without any supporting facts to provide a well-balanced argument. However, I will disregard this fact since it is a very reliable source and I fully support the case of the author.
