Rogerian Argument

Introduction

Breast cancer is one of the major problems that affect up to eight percent of the women throughout their lives. The major dilemma with this problem is that the there are more chances that these women lose their lives due to this disease. The increase in the rate of breast cancer and the emotional and psychological traumas that these women suffer due this disease is more when they survived and have to face situations like this. “Between 25,000 and 30,000 new cases are diagnosed annually.” (Gómez-Hernández et.al, 2010, p.1).
