| Hello/Intro Cancer Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. This program is about Healing and dealing with Breast Cancer. A disease that strikes 1 out of 8 women. In 2004, nearly 216-thousand women nationwide heard the words they fear the most: breast cancer. In NH, 920 women were diagnosed. A key to survival is "early" detection -- that's where mamograms come in. Most physicians advise women to get a baseline mammogram at age 35 -- and annual screenings after age 40. We'll talk about new treatments and hope for those battling the disease in a moment -- but, first a story of survival -- life "after" cancer -- and , the power of theater.to heal. |
