My summer reading book was called Going for the Record by Julie A Swanson. My first choice of research topic is treatments of cancer. The topic has two sides to it, since some people who have been through or watched someone go through cancer think the treatments don’t work because the person they knew died from it. However, my paper will argue that some methods of treatment work, it depends on what kind of cancer and what treatment was used. My second choice of research topic is causes of cancer. I will write about one type of cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, because what is what Leah’s dad had. The topic has different views because some people think smoking cigarettes will not cause you to get pancreatic cancer, but my paper will argue that it is one of the top causes. My paper will show the side of treatments of cancer I think is the truest.
