Week 8 Discussion- Too Much Cell Growth? Cancers

Hey Scholars,



This week we are talking about cell growth and reproduction as well as what happens when this growth becomes uncontrolled. There is a factoid that says 3 out of 4 people will be directly affected by some type of cancer throughout their lives. I know that this is a scary statistic for most of you but science is working hard to find a cure or at least battle all types of cancer. I'm sure you are all aware by now of my direct connection with cancer (my dad having throat cancer from years of smoking) but I'm sure people close to you have been affected by cancer as well. For this weeks post you have two choices you can blog about someone close to you that has been affected by cancer and tell their story.... or... you can enlighten us with new cancer treatments that are being developed.

Have A Great Week
