Expidition Reflection Essay


I think the expiditon made alot of people realize that we need to eat helathy in order to prevent cancer. You dont only need to eat helathy but you also need to exercise.We also learned how cancer cells look and how they gow and reproduce into bigger and abnormal cells. Cells reproduce from one cell to another and if one cell is infected the rest of the cells that were made from it will be infected as well.
The things that i learned about cancer are that there are three stages in a tumor. One of the stages is the less harmful stage of the tumor which can stay and be easily removed with surgery. The next stages are the next stage and this stage is more severe than the last but it could still get wose. In this stage the tumor is greater and can get bigger if not treated it can get very dangerous. The next stage is the last and the most severe stage of all. This satge has the biggest tumor and can quickly be spread througout the body if not treated. This stage is worse is because it can spread the quickest and will affect everything that it touches. Another that we learned was that even if you smoke the soone you stop will decrease your chances of gettin lung cancer.
If i was to cotinue my expiditoin i would like to learn more about all of the ways that we can prevent cancer, and i heard that you can still get cancer from eating healthy an excersising . I would like to know what else causes caner even though i thik its from too much rediation.
I think that it was an o.k. learnin exprerience because we heard from people who had cancer and we learned about what they went through. We also learned about things that can cause and pevent cancer.
I think that if we study and research alot more, and get more information than we can explain things alot better for the students next year and the year after that.
