was malignant. Isn't there any,
thing to be done to stop the
growth of cancer?
My mother doesn't know that
she isn't expected to live. From
your experience, have you
found it best to tell patients
that they are soon going to

there is always hope is best,

answer: Tell the patient the
truth as soon as you are sure
that it is cancer
I do not go along with that.
I think it is the easier way out
for the doctor, but often more
difiicult for the patient. No
blanket rule ever can COM

the management Of every pa

I recall q patient Of mine

for a lump in the breast. The
doctor did not warn her, pre-
vious to operation, that it might
be cancer and that she might
wake up minus a breast. 1t
was cancer. Her breast was
removed. When she woke the
surgeon told her that she had
cancer. (He was one of those
who say: Il make no excep-

have cancer If they have it.~

THE DETAILS

FLORA D.-My sister and I
are both married and living in
cities quite far apart. Our faith
err is dead and our mother,
quite aged. lives with me.
Our problem is our younger
brother, who is an alcoholic.
He has made a mess of his life.
deserted his wife and children
and just drifts from place to
place. Every now and then he
turns up at my house or my sis
ter's. We cannot have him
around the house with the chill
dren there. And, since we have
some standing in the commun-
ity, it is very embarrassing TO
have him around.
We have given him so much
money that it is disgraceful. /
feel that my sister is making
matters worse by always taking
him in. I refuse to do it any
more.
GENEVIEVE MI know it
doesn't help and perhaps makes
matters worse, but how can you
turn away your own brother
when he comes to your door?
Flora is cruel. l don't like hav-
ing Harry around the house
either, but at least I can give
him a few meals to eat, a clean
bed to sleep in for a little while.
He is usually very quiet and
after a week or two. just slips
away again without saying a
word to anyone.
AS I see it, Harry is our cross
to bear in life and we have no
right to diSown him.
do feel that Flora ought to,
at least. shoulder some of the
burden with me. If she took
him in for a couple of weeks
each year, it would mean that
he gets a little more care.
