ADVI E ABOUT BREAST CANCER

Several years ago I wrote about three middleaged woman who had a. lump in their breast but had not consulted their physician. The! thought the lump was likely to be cancer and, as their husbands had planned a lengthy holiday for the whole family, they felt that the family holiday would be spoiled if the physician diagnosed cancer. Fbrtunstebt. on their return home their physician and a surgeon cori- lultant diagnosed enlarged milk glands. not cancer.

Today, physicians and surgeons are so suspicious of a lump in the breast that they consider it. if not cancer, as likely to de'v,e-lop into cancer and so take no chances. They remove not just the lump but. in most cases. the entire breast.

In Geriatrics, Dr. Clarence E. Gardner, Jr., professor of surgery. Duke University, Durham. North Carolina, states iih'at. "Cancer oc- cursin thebri-astssoften ssin any other organ, since women are aware of this fact and are beink taught early signs of cancer tmaligrtancyl. they are presenting ihernselves to their doctors in in- creasing numbers when any ab- r.ormslit'y occurs in the breast." Today cancer of the breast occurs most frequently than in tlhe uterus, which stood first until recent years.

Cancer of the breast occurs most often in the tip'peI' and outer quart-

Girl, I6. Advised lilol To Brood Over Boy Friend's Neglect

DEAR MISS DIX: A year ago I met Charlie. who was, I thought. the most wonderftil boy in the world. We clatzu .:.- 1.. : , hilt! had iZ00d times together. Then it was discovered that I had heart trouble, and I was sent to a iiospital, where I was for seven months. CV3”-F116 to see me, and wrote every clay, for. ii month. Then- siience. Its been eight months since I saw him, but I still think of him and wish he would. at least, write. I'm 16. and he's a year older. Na- Y-limlly. W0!1'i'l-I18 about him isn't helping megecuperaie, but I don't know how to forget him.

DCXRNA UNSTABLE YOUTH

' ANSWER: 'I'hciro are two features of your problem that you must face squarely acknowledge honestly. One is that a 17-year-old boy hunt the capacity to fit into the requirements of your situation. You like Charlie. Wm” you had come to regard as a firm friend. and ex-- pected. without question. that netd continue to stand by through your long illness. A young lad Just dnmn't have that sort of stability. A boy of 17 wants fun. coinpanionssiiip, someone to share the problems of school and the activities of his group. That you weren't able to fill the bill for more than three months wasn't your fault, certainly, and Mich- er was it Charlie's. One of the tragedies of I. prolonged Illness is that it cuts one off so completely from the normal routine of living. In the case of a. youngster. this is particularly hard since teen--age life is so i:oricentra..ed. Dom. hold the boy's dereliction against him.

The second fact you must bear in mind is that brooding over Charlie will most definitely retard your recovery. I would suggest that you take your mother into your full confidence. She will find something new to GCGUW your time so that the loss of Charlie's attentions won't be up- permost. in your mind. It mirint also help if you'd enlist the aid of ii. favorite nurse. There must. be other patients about your age in the ht-'I8Pii-E1: even if you can't visit them. you might exchange notes.

Your illnsu is an interruption to your outside life. but it will only Ni tamporuty. soon you'll be back in circulation ready to make new fr ends.

St. John Ambulance. recognized, authority on First Aid. sums up the facts to remember in treating frostbite:

Thaw the frozen part gradually with body heat.

Do not rub - especially with snow or ice. Frozen tissues are easily bruised and gangrene can result.

Do not apply external heat in and form such as heat from a stove or radiator.

Do not take into I. warm room until thawing is complete.
