More and more women are searching the Internet for medical information. Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer search for information and participate in online communities—groups that “gather” in established online spaces to interact about their diagnoses of breast cancer. They share their own struggles and emotions with their own language: the rhetoric of breast cancer. They ask questions, share experiences, create friendships, discuss their disease processes, and present their illness narratives. However, they also create ethical dilemmas for online researchers and privacy issues as they share information that is legally protected through HIPAA. Online communities will only increase as research of online information expands through big data and predictive analytics, and more than ever before, women need to be aware of the information they share. Researchers also need to be aware, as they share the data they gather, and seek to preserve the privacy of the creators of the online data that they investigate and report. The Rhetoric of Breast Cancer provides a discussion of the complex structures of online communities, particularly those focused on medical diagnoses, and is a valuable read for patients, theorists, physicians, and researchers.

Scientific Characters chronicles the contests over character, knowledge, trust, and truth in a politically charged scientific controversy that erupted after a 1994 Chicago Tribune headline: "Fraud in Breast Cancer Research: Doctor Lied on Data for Decade." Moving back and forth between news coverage, medical journals, letters to the editor, and oncology pamphlets, Lisa Keränen draws insights from rhetoric, literary studies, sociology, and science studies to analyze the roles of character in shaping the outcomes of the "Datagate" controversy.

Assessing rhetorical principles of contemporary health issues Hypochondriacs are vulnerable to media hype, anorexics are susceptible to public scrutiny, and migraine sufferers are tainted with the history of the “migraine personality,” maintains rhetorical theorist Judy Z. Segal. All are influenced by the power of persuasion. Health and the Rhetoric of Medicine explores persistent health conditions that resist conventional medical solutions. Using a range of rhetorical principles, Segal analyzes how patients and their illnesses are formed within the physician/patient relationship. The intractable problem of a patient’s rejection of a doctor’s advice, says Segal, can be considered a rhetorical failure—a failure of persuasion. Examining the discourse of medicine through case studies, applications, and analyses, Segal illustrates how illnesses are described in ways that limit patients’ choices and satisfaction. She also illuminates psychiatric conditions, infectious diseases, genetic testing, and cosmetic surgeries through the lens of rhetorical theory. Health and the Rhetoric of Medicine bridges critical analysis for scholarly, professional, and lay audiences. Segal highlights the persuasive element in diagnosis, health policy, illness experience, and illness narratives. She also addresses questions of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs, the role of health information in creating the “worried well” and problems of trust and expertise in physician/patient relationships. A useful resource for critical common sense in everyday life, the text provides an effective examination of a society increasingly influenced by the rhetoric of health and medicine.

When October was officially named National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) more than 20 years ago, a week-long event provided women with information about the disease. The appearance of this sort of awareness campaign was a first and it began to fill the void in public communication about breast cancer. Over the years, NBCAM discourse has helped break through the previous silence and stigma surrounding the disease. Over the years, this discourse has become a purportedly common sense approach to breast cancer in the United States, and one I suggest is fundamentally hegemonic. In this thesis, I study how the discourse of NBCAM encourages women to embrace a breast cancer awareness that is saturated with whiplash and back-pedaling narratives and characterizations that establish a mixed message discourse comprised of contradictory conceptions of breast cancer detection, breast cancer prevention, breast cancer activism, and breast cancer as a disease. Through an analysis of a set of women's magazines, I illustrate how the mixed message discourse of NBCAM establishes links between cultural values and life conditions that narrowly define the central ideograph breast cancer awareness, and how the symbolic image of the pink ribbon works to recall and reiterate these specific messages and ways of understanding breast cancer. Ultimately, I argue that NBCAM discourse constrains how women think about and deal with breast cancer by conditioning them to a shared public vocabulary of concepts that guides and warrants their actions and excuses both their behavior and beliefs. In my analysis, I illustrate how this vocabulary invites privatized identifications with and commitments to constructions of breast cancer experience, prevention, and activism that contain gendered and traditionally feminine ideologies. The rhetoric emphasizes personal responsibility over social context, which obscures issues of social structure, environmental protection, and collective responsibility, and positions breast cancer as a natural part of a woman's life, which, in turn, dislocates collective political anxiety, discussion, and action from NBCAM discourse.

Drawing on the writings of Rachel Carson, Betty Ford, Rose Kushner, and Audre Lorde, this book explores the various ways in which patient-centered texts continue to leave their mark on the political realm of breast cancer and, ultimately, the disease itself. Ordered chronologically, the selections trace the progression of discussions about breast cancer from a time when the subject was kept private and silent to when it became part of public discourse. The texts included are personal accounts, written by women struggling to play an active role in their healing process and, at the same time, hoping to help others do the same.
