friend, and a family to fall
back on?
For most, yes, that is the
way to lead a fulfilling life.
What about others who are so

through the motions of daily
life? Sometimes professional
intervention is required, ac-
cording to Spectre and Gold-

"I don't need to know the
people I see there personally,
but I am no longer afraid to
start up a conversation. If I
want to be quiet there, I can
do that too. I have the choice,
but I don't have to be alone.

A Positive Point
About Breast Cancer.

you can feel it. When it's no
