Madison Koonce cancer answers/questions continued

Five things i learned were:
1) When skin peals it is because the suns rays completly killed that layer.
2) Men and women can get breast cancer.
3) Chemotherapy is used as a prevention of cancer as well as a treatment.
4) You can get genetic tests to see what your risk of gettinga certain cancer is.
5) I also learned that the air i breathe is full off toxins that can cause cancer, just like how some
people who are around second hand smoke get lung cancer as well.

Madison Koonce cancer answers/questions

I really liked this cancer project. I liked how we had one specific job, but still learned and had a little part in all of the other jobs as well. I thought i learned about the symptoms really well, because we had to find the cancer ourselves. The website that we had to look off of with questions we should answer, helped a lot. I also really liked how we had one specific cancer to each group and not just cancer in general.

There really wasn't too much that i disliked about this project, besides the fact that we didn't have a ton of teacher student time, because of conflicts. I wish we could have done a poster, or something else rather than a power point. Sometimes i felt as though i was doing more of someone else's job then they were as well.

I still have questions on why can certain foods trigger cancer, whats the difference between adisease and cancer, and what is the difference between a genetic cancer and a cancer that is formed?

Kirsten's Thoughts on the Cancer Project

Five things that I learned after doing this cancer project were:

1. There is no such thing as a safe tan. If you are outside or in a tanning bed the rays still could be harmful.
2. What carcinogens, chemicals that are known to cause cancer, means.
3. The difference between the rate of speed that the cancer cell divide and normal cells divide and how much faster the cancer cell spread.
4. When checkpoints don't see the mutation and let the cancer cell continue through it's cycle.
5. The things that you do in your life can impact the chances that you have to get cancer. If you have a poor diet and are overweight you have a greater risk then people that eat healthy and exercise regularly.

Questions that I have:

1. What does Benign and Malignant mean?

One thing that I liked:

1. I really liked trying to give someone the best chance to live and help out the patient and the family members. Also I enjoyed using google documents.

One thing that I didn't like:

1. That some people didn't do their slides so you didn't get to know that information on your patient.
