Three Years to Go
It would have been easier
II I'd known more about cancer
If I'd known then what I
know today-that there are
now, here in the United States,
well over a million people who
also once heard the diagnosis,
cancer, and, after treatment,
lived on to hear the doctor say:
"Well, you've passed the five
year checkup. Guess we can
both relax"
I hope to hear those words
too-three years from now. Be-
cause it's just two years ago
that I underwent surgery for a
cancer in the left lung. The
doctor says I'm in fine shape.
There's no trace Of cancer in
me. But q patient Is consid-
cred cured only when there has
been no recurrence Of the dis
ease for five years after treat
ment.
Like everybody else, I was
scared Of cancer. What I didn't
know was that the fear is worse
than the reality. Once the
tumor is there. inside you, all
that matters is getting rid of
1t. You're in mortal combat.
I was lucky. God and science
saved my life. Family, friends,
and the TV public saved my
morale.
BuOyed in Letters

poured In from well wishers

those moments after the last

gnawing fear started scratch

also made me realize that many
OF my correspondents were wor-

was front page news-some
called it the "slice heard around

course, I didn't.

because it may help other peo-
pie face the ordeal of cancer
If they husband escape it, if
they can. Many thousands of
lives could be saved If more
people knew the facts about
cancer cure and prevention. To
help spread these facts is the
purpose of these articles.
10000 Saved Each Year
First, what did the hospital
teach me2 1t exposed me to
the miracle Of modern medi-
cine. Surgery, followed by radi-
alton, saved meas, I later
learned, they now save ITO. 900
cancer patients a year. Sep
arately, or in combination,
these are the only methods
for curing cancer. Hormones
and drugs are sometimes used
to check a cancerous growth
temporarily, or even to reduce
the size Of the tumor. They
are immensely beneficial in ex-
tending life. But as yet they
do not permanently destroy the
malignancy which is cancer.
My advice? Get a checkup-
get one every year even If you
have nothing wrong, and If
you suspect cancer-if you have

It may not be cancer at all.

home remedies.
Second, what did my reading
and interviews teach me? AS

any other disease; in half the
cases they die Of a cancer called
leukemia.
Hope Lies in Leukemia
The third thing I learned was
that this most dreaded type
Of cancer is, from a research
point of view. the most hope
full. A number of scientists
believe that the big break
through in cancer control may
come in leukemia. Some be-
lieve that this cancer is virus
caused. Viruses have been used
to produce leukemia in mice,
and also to make mice immune
to leukemia.
VIII we ever be able to vac
cinate our children against leu
kemia, as we now do against
polio?
The experts are hopeful
but guarded. They say: If
drugs and vaccines are found
which can cure or prevent any
cancers, they will succeed first
in leukemia, and lymphomas.
"The first great break
through in determining the
cause of cancer will probably
come fro the research in leu
kemia." That's what DR.. Wen

radiology and an American

says: "The virus problem and
the cancer problem are one.|

cause most, If not all cancers,
Is gaining support.
Money Is Needed

scientists now believe that it
will eventually be possible to
produce vaccines to mobilize
the body's defenses against
cancer. When? Maybe in one
year. in 10 years, in 25. No
