Hamantasch? For the Crossword answers, please turn to Page 168. A lot of women are so afraid of breast cancer they don't want to hear about it. And that's what frightens me. Because those women won't prac- tice breast self-examination regularly. Those women, particularly those over 35, won't ask their doctor about a mammogram. Yet that's what's required for breast cancer to be detected early. When the cure rate is 90 0 0. And when there's a good chance it won't involve the loss of a breast. But no matter what it involves, take it from someone who's been through it all. Life is just too wonderful to give up on. And, as I found out, you don't have to give up on any of it. Not work, not play, not even romance. Oh, there is one thing, though. You do have to give up being afraid to take care of yourself. VAMERICAts1 CANCER SOCIETY') ■ 6 Get a checkup.
