My mother in law has terminal colon cancer and they do a CEA test that tells us if the cancer cells are growing or slowing down, her CEA was very high when she was diagnosed once they removed the cancer it went down, then it started to elevate until after she started her chemo, that is how they based whether or not to continue her chemo or change her course of therapy.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
