ANNA CHABEN, 93, of Southfield,
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%. 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.
