The teacher will hand out the students pages of the activity. Depending upon the background of the students, the teacher will give as much or as little additional information he or she feels the students will need. The dilemma questions will be evaluated at the discretion of the teacher. The answers should demonstrate that the students were following one of the decision-making models included with this module. Almost everyone has had a relative or friend die as a result of cancer.
Many people are even afraid to say the word and some fear being around someone who has cancer.
They know it is not contagious, but why take a chance. Questions and fears surround cancer. First of all, cancer is not a single disease but is a general term given to many different diseases. At the very basic level, all cancers have one thing in common-cells are dividing out of control. These cells usually have no function but they simply begin to crowd out healthy cells and rob those cells of needed nutrition.
