1 dltor s note: This Interview watt conduct-
ed with a 59 -year-old Seaforth woman. she
asked` to use a pseudonym to protect her
privacy.)
She almost didn't get on the bus to Toronto
in April, but when the medical staff at the
breast screening clinic at Mt. Sinai, Hospital
found the lump in her breast, Margaret
,Campbell (nqt her real name) was glad she
did. ,
'It really hit me hard at first but the doctor
sat me down and said, 'At least we found it
and you have a fighting chance now. If you
hadn't come and we found it maybe a year
later, it could have been too late," she says.
As the staff suspected, the lump was
confirmed as cancerous after a biopsy done in
London at University Hospital. Mrs. Camp-
bell ,had the lump and two other cysts
removed from her breasts and after receiving
Cobalt treatments�,,she is now undergoing
chemotherapy treatments. Although doctors
cannot guarantee s *,,pr any other cancer
patient. is cured, she is optimistic about the
future.
PARTICIPATES IN STUDY
A participant of a five year breast
screening study in Toronto, Mrs, Campbell's
last trip to Toronto was the third with a
busload of women from the Seaforth,
Mitchell and Stratford areas.
For a fee of $15 to pay for the bus. the
women between the ages of 40 and 59 were
divided into two groups - one group was
taught self-examination along with an annual
physical and mammogram (x-ray of the
breast), and the other group was taught
self-examination with a physical and no
mammogram, Women under 50 in the second
group received a follow, up through the mail
while those over 50 like Mrs. Campbell
returned each year for an ekamination.
"Th 'study is a great thing for anywoman
to g in ived in," says Mrs. Cmpbell.
"Y receive a thorough 15 to 20 minute
b ast examination by nurses who are
expert., 4ince they era,Tli..e,breast all the
h e." '
The privacy of each woman is respected
ince each examination is done in front of a
mirror surrounded by a screen. Only the
woman, who is allowed to wear a paper
poncho and the nurse are behind the screen.
"They do everything they can to make you
feel at ease. And, the fact that women are
examining you, makes you feel more
comfortable."
If there is any question in the nurse's mind
about a woman's examination, a doctor is
consulted. In Mrs. Campbell's case, the
nurse discovered from the last examination a
`difference in her breast which was confirmed
by a doctor who contacted her family doctor to
make the necessary arrangements for a
biopsy.
After 1 had my operation, my doctor
brought some medical students in to see me
and told them that they had the breast
screening clinic to'thank for discovering my
FanaBOq—
ing chance
iumpr But, I deal blame my family doctor
he has, he
doesn't hay�e timithe e to ive every woman a
thorough breast'exaniinatian. Hes doing the
best he can." says Mrs. Campbell.
-Since her operation in May, Mrs. Campbell
has been approached many times about her
experience. mostly by women who want to
know more about the clinic. And, to each one, '
she recommends getting involved with a
breat screening, study.
People are afraid to be seen on the bus to
the cancer clinic. it's'the old misconception
that you can catch cancer from someone else.
But. I'm so thankful 1 went to Mt. Sinai. Like
the doctor said. I have a flghting chance
now."
A national breast screening study centre
opened Aug. 2 in London. Any woman
between ages 40 and 59 'who has never had
breast cancer, is not pregnant and has not
had a mammogram for 12 months can
volunteer to take part in the five year study.

for a long time. At present I
am very happy and have no
regrets about join the pro-
