summary of p.34-66

 In these thirty pages, there are five chapters, which are The Birth of HeLa, Blackness Be Spreadin All Inside, Lady's on the Phone, The Death and Life of Cell Culture and A Miserable Specimen. In those chapters, I love The Birth of HeLa the most. So let's talk about this chapter first.
 For this chapter, it is talking about how HeLa born and the situation of Henrietta Lacks. Firstly, this chapter talk about something in the lab. In this lab, there are mainly Gey , Mary and Margeret in the lab, they are doing some experiment inside the lab, HeLa is one of the example. For this chapter, it also talk about some backgroud about Gey and Margeret. Margarent is cautious and stable, the blackbone of the lab. Gey is an enormous, mischievous, grown-up kid. They worked so hard on those cells. At the end of this chapter, Mary find that HeLa is different from the other cells, it grow unstoppable if you give enough food, space and warmth to it. So HeLa borned at that moment.
 In the next chapter, it mostly talk about Henrietta Lacks who went to the hospital for the treatment every day. At first, althrough radium often causes relentless nausea, vomiting, weakness, and anemia, there is no record of Henrietta having any side effects, and no one remembers her complaing of feeling sick. So she was really well at that time. But her body went worse and worse. One day she almost collapsed a few blocks from Hopkins and took nearly a hour to make a walk to Margaret's house. And her body's color is burnt to black. She was very sick.
  For chapter six, it is talk about how the author find  Henrietta's daughter's phone number. And some dialog between author and Deborah. But  Deborah did not want to have any interview because of the disagreement of her family. So the author called Henrietta husband David. But she can't get any information from the call.
 In chapter seven, it is about some history of the undead chicken heart cells. But this cell was just dead five years before HeLa born. Tissue culture was stuff of racism, creepy science fiction, Nazis, and snake oil.
 For the last chapter, it go back to Henrietta. She found that her cancer was spreading. But the doctor did not believe her. But later, doctor find that the cancer was attached to Henrietta's pelvic wall, nearly blocking her urethra. The cancer go bad. New tumors seemed to appesr daily and radiation treatment did not work for her any more. And lastly, Gey told Henrietta that her cell wiil make her immortal and help to save the lives of countless people and smiled. She told Gey she was glad her pain can help the others.

Impression:
 I think Henrietta is very brave. She is a very good woman. Even she will be killed by those cells soon, but she still gald her pain can help the others.

Question:
 Why does the radiation treatment do not work for Henrietta?
