months ago doctors told the father
of Dorothy Lewis, 8. that they
would have to amDutate her leg or
she would die, but today she was
able to jump rope and play hop
scotch with friends
Those doctors were talking a lot
of baloney." she said. The father.
william Lewis, already distraught
by the death of his wife, asked a
jury of 20 surgeons just before
Christmas to help him decide whe-
ther to amputate when diagnosis
showed Dorothy had cancer of the
thigh. The surgeons said amputate.
However. Lewis three other chill
dren voted against an operation
and x-ray treatment was tried. IN
March Dorothy threw her crutches
away.
The Lewis family is jubilant but
a little pertlrbed that physicians
will not be more positive regard
ing cure. All the doctors will
say is "irraGiation treatments have
proved temporarily effective"
