Hey guys my name is Megan Carlson and I am a senior biology major at SCU. I am really excited for this class because breast cancer and pancreatic cancer have impacted the lives of many of my loved ones and I am eager to learn about the disease that they coped with.
I attached a pie chart showing the proportion of deaths due to cancer in the US in 2009, showing just how large of an impact it had then and has only gotten worse now.
