Case Study I Kai Simpson has surfed since he was a young teenager and up through his young adulthood years off the coast of Maui, where he was born and raised. Every time the surf was up and the sun was out, he was on his board. Twenty years later, he is diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Case Study Questions 1. What protective measures might Kai have taken as a young surfer? 2. Identify possible treatment measures that might be taken. Case Study 2 Juan was only 55 when he learned he had cancer. He was shocked. He saw his doctor for what he thought was a pulled muscle in his side, a nagging cough, and feeling tired all the time. A chest x-ray showed a mass in his lung. He had a CT scan at the nearest hospital and got sicker as he waited 10 days for the results. The results indicated the need for an oncologist - another wait of nearly 45 days. Juan's daughter went on the Internet to find a place where he might get treatment earlier. A call was made to a cancer treatment center about 1,100 miles away. They asked for his records, called back in 24 hours, and made an appointment. The results were staggering. He had stage IV cancer with tumors in one of his kidneys, a lung, liver, and several lymph nodes. Juan had a radical nephrectomy with removal of surrounding lymph nodes and the adrenal gland. This was followed by aggressive biotherapy for about 8 weeks. Today Juan has passed his 10-year mark cancer free. Case Study Questions I. Is Juan's experience waiting for treatment common? Why or why not? 2. What issues might Juan face having only one kidney and no adrenal gland? Search the Internet for your response.
