I've been trying out a lot of the stuff we talked about in class about the "AND", "OR", and "NOT". So I tried it out on Google. I thought I'd experiment to just see what sort of results I would get. I typed in "cancer treatment -money" to see if I could get information about just cancer treatments NOT including the financial information. I want the financial information too but I would like to receive them from sites that ONLY talk about treatments OR sites that ONLY talk about financial costs of cancer. I think I might get higher quality sites this way instead of sites that just contain a lot of information. Interestingly, the search took me straight to the national cancer institute. After examining the site, the national cancer institute does not have a lot of information on the financial cost, but instead on the treatment itself. This way of searched seemed to be very productive for me. I think it will be a sensible way to get good information not lots of information. I'm after quality, not quantity.

Class Exercise 1
Topic Area: The process of treating cancer.
Why would certain cancer treatments be harder to get than others?
1. I used Google search engine and typed in the key words "cancer treatment options" and received several good websites.
2. Now that I know where the information is, I feel much more comfortable with my topic choice.
3. I think for general information that I need, Google is the best way to go.
Why would certain cancer treatments be harder to get than others?
- How can hospitals help patients get new treatments?
- How does the cost of creating these treatment relate to the development of them?
