What did you learn?

Read the examples below. They are real situations about cancer and health. Try to find the information using the Web sites we visited today.

  1. Your mother had a breast biopsy. The doctor told her it is cancer. She doesn't know what to do. The doctor told her she can have surgery first and then radiation treatment. Can you help your mother get the information she needs? Can you help find a support group for her and your family?

  2. Your father found out he has prostate cancer. His doctor suggested surgery to remove his prostate. Are there other ways to treat prostate cancer? If so, what are they?

  3. You want to find information on which hospitals treat cancer where you live.

  4. You don't have health insurance. You want to find out where you can get a free mammogram.
