The Subject The subject is a 55-year-old white female who works as an accountant in a small enterprise. She has a husband, who is five years older, and two children, who are now in their twenties. The subject had her menopause four years ago, which manifested in common symptoms, including the lack of menstruations, reduced libido, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. The subject generally has healthy care-seeking behaviors and visits her primary care physician regularly. She describes herself as a relatively healthy person with a few chronic health problems that impact her life. The subject has a healthy weight, leads an active lifestyle, and has no complaints regarding her health condition. She admits to smoking one pack of cigarettes daily since the age of 30 but says that her alcohol consumption is moderate and she only drinks red wine one or two times per week. She was diagnosed with hypertension six years ago and uses beta-blockers to manage blood pressure. Another chronic health issue that is evident in the patient is chronic gastritis, which started when she was 40. Although the PCP prescribed medications for gastritis, the subject did not complete the treatment because the treatment disappeared after dietary changes. Despite having generally good health, the subject was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Breast cancer is the key cause of concern for the subject at the moment because it can have severe consequences if left unaddressed. Therefore, the present health psychology plan will be focused on breath cancer. The goal of the plan is to identify the psychological issues and health priorities of the subject and propose a strategy for addressing them. Health Hazards and Risks Faced by the Subject The primary health hazard for the subject is breast cancer since it poses a threat to her future life and health. Breast cancer is a dangerous disease that affects millions of women globally. According to World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF, 2019), there were two million new cases of breast cancer in 2018 globally, and the United States is among the 25 countries with the highest rate of breast cancer. Although the age-standardized rate of breast cancer is 84.9 cases per 100,000, various demographic, genetic, and lifestyle factors impact the development of this condition (WCRF, 2019). For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2018) states that white women had the highest rate of new cancers diagnosed in 2015. The risk of breast cancer also increases with age, and postmenopausal women have a higher chance of developing it. As shown by CDC, the highest rate of breast cancer is found in women aged 70 to 74, but the rate for women aged 55 to 59 is also significant (CDC, 2018). The age distribution of cancer has been linked to hormonal changes that take place in the body after menopause. Lifestyle risk factors that contribute to the development of breast cancer are also documented in research. Dieterich, Stubert, Reimer, Erickson, and Berling (2014) confirm that obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption are risk factors for several types of cancers, including breast cancer. Since the patient is a smoker and consumes alcohol in moderate amounts regularly, these factors could have affected her diagnosis. Moreover,
