First Week Back

In this amazingly fantastic first week of bio, we got assigned a huge project where we must write  an eight page research paper about a specific type of cancer of our choosing.  Due to the fact that I have many smokers in my family, I wanted to do a type of lung cancer, and eventually decided upon small cell lung cancer (Oat Cell Carcinoma).  This paper was more specifically, a review paper, so I decided to review and compare the two treatments of chemotherapy and surgery.  I worked on this paper when I had free time this week and got a good portion of it done by the end of the week.  During the classes of this week we learned about how cancer starts, how tumors form, and the properties of cancer cells.
