Jones County Women Asked for Five Minutes Each Month of Their Time “I am asking every woman in Jones County for just five min utes of her time each month, every month — five minutes which might very well save her life.” Dr. John H. Thompson of the American Cancer Society’s Jones County Unit made the ap peal today as the ACS announc ed that in 1965 62,000 American women will learn that the lump in their breast has been diagnos ed as cancer. When breast cancer is found early, before it has spread, Dr. Thompson said, better than eight out of ten women can be saved. When the diagnosis is made later, the chances for survival drop to less than half, i A few minutes spent in breast self-examination once a month i can save the lives of thousands i of women through early diag- 1 nosis. ' Breast cancer claims the lives ] of more women than any other 1 type of cancer. This year, ac- 1 cording to the American Can- i cer Society, 26,000 women will die, many of whom might have i been saved. < “The tragic thing,” Dr. 1 Thompson said, “is that the 1 death , rate from breast cancer ; i could and should be falling each t year, but it isn’t Many women ] are afraid to examine them selves regularly, afraid they will find a lump in their breast. Not all breast tumors mean can cer. More often than not they are benign, harmless. But any thickening or lump should mean an immediate visit to a physician.”^ In addition to the monthly self-examination, Dr. Thompson arged all women to have a aealth checkup once a year by a physician. This will include a areast examination as well as i pelvic examination and a ‘pap” smear test — brief and aainless — which insures pro ection against cancer of the ut :rus. Women in Jones County are lrged to write to the American lancer Society at Raleigh for heir free copy of the leaflet ‘Personal Memo for Today, JSE”, which shows the steps in volved in making their own •reast examinations in the priv icy of their homes. The society also has a 15 ninute film illustrating the pro edure for breast self-examina ion that it will show on request, ree of charge, before any wom m’s group. The Society will al o arrange to have a physician •resent to answer questions. iu.
