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.
