Cancer Day 11/4/14

Today in class, well not in class, but anyways our class went on a field trip to the hallway to examine and learn about the different cancer that could affect us. We learned to wear sun screen to protect us from skin cancer. I went in a booth that had UV rays to show the spots on my face where there was oily skin, dry skin, and places where cancerous skin was. The bad skin was little dots though. Also i saw a real lung and a smokers lung which was black and disgusting. They pumped up both of them and the healthy lung expanded farther than the black lung and just looked way better. Also the guy at the testicular cancer table taught us about testicular cancer and what to check for in your balls. We got little diagrams of a lump ball and a regular ball in the scrotum. The final thing I learned about was breast cancer. it can be found in men and women, but women are more likely to get it.
