| Anthrax Update Return to index of stories... |
Three network news organizations, a tabloid newspaper and capitol hill. That's where the anthrax investigation is focused now. Two new cases were confirmed Thursday. An assistant to CBS anchor Dan Rather and a postal worker in New Jersey. This brings the total number of anthrax cases to six. Hundreds more are taking antibiotics because they may have been exposed. The anthrax scare has made its way to Northern New England. In Vermont, people are taking antibiotics after traces of a white powdery substance were found in the luggage area at Burlington International Airport. There is no confirmation of anthrax. As the investigation continues on capitol hill, US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is proposing a nationwide town hall meeting to address the concerns of the american people. That as the CDC Thursday warned Physicians nationwide to look out for possible cases of smallpox, food poisoning and viruses like Ebola. |

| Intro Journey 3 Return to index of stories... |
This year 800 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in New Hampshire. One hundred women will die from it. As women wage a very personal war with this disease they do not go into battle alone. Tonight we conclude our series on breast cancer with a look at the special healing power of the patient/surgeon relationship. |
| Journey Toward Healing 3 Return to index of stories... |
JOURNEY TOWARD HEALING PART THREE Breast cancer can strike at the very heart of a woman's sense of self. Because of this, the surgeon leads a medical team that is as concerned with her psychological needs as her physical. It all begins with understanding what the patient is going through and lowering her anxiety level. coppola 44:18:31 there's lots of studies data to support that. Relieving anxiety and healing faster - they are soft studies but they are there.--cover of curtain opening hospital coverjust preparing for your surgery and being as relaxed and informed as you can be and trying to think positively on the whole process has been shown to have beneficial effects on pain control and post op. The battle against breast cancer affects not only the patient but it also takes its toll on those closest to her. 2:27:13 Certainly my job is to take care of the problem and be a part of the cure for that person but you can't get away from the emotional side that it takes on the patient and her whole family. Robin #29:29:04 I think it has been hardest for our older daughter - Lauren because she is away at KSC this year. But the others have really steppe up and helped. You have a different perspective on life. Your family and your friends are very important to you. WILLIAMS 37:00:52++ My mom was very moved - it pulled us closer. She came up to help me out and I remember her saying "I wish it were me". And it was the kind of thing that really touches you. Robin Drown and Linda Williams were both treated for breast cancer by Dr. David Coppola. He made their treatment a family affair. 2:27:13+++ lets make them a part of this whole discussion. I think it alleviates the mystery of what's happening to whomever it is if we have had lots of chances to talk about it first. It can all be done without delaying their treatment. You'd be surprised how much a half- hour chat just to visit will do. Those who work in cancer treatment are often very sensitive to the special emotional needs of their patients. 9:03:00 I was there for four chemo treatments three weeks apart. My last one was 3 days after Christmas. Dr. sonnoborg - he is always quite the character. I would go in there and I would be looking awful and he would say "Oh you're looking beautiful today. 5:20:25 I think sheila - we must have touched each other because she left me this beautiful letter beside my bed when I woke up from my surgery that stated how much she enjoyed having me under her care. And for a nurse who works long hours and rounds to take the time out of her busy schedule to do that - I know how overworked nurses are - and I just -= it touched me and I will never forget that. While many caring professionals touched their lives, the central person in both Linda and Robin's treatment continued to be their surgeon. 09:04:36 Dr. Coppola has always been there. I know one of the nights he spoke to us - it was actually 7 at night after he had been in surgery all day. He sat with my husband and I for like 2 hours and just talked. Williams 1 5:16:35+++ the day before my surgery he sat down with me and talked with me for over an hour about my family, about my children, about my husband. And he gave me stories about his sisters and brothers and his parents and nieces and it just made me feel so comfortable about him operating on me cause I felt he cared about me as a person. Dr. Coppola's approach of treating the whole person and not just the disease had a profound effect on Linda's healing process. Williams 1 5:15:26 I think - I have heard horror stories from people who had surgeons - and you see it on tv - who have no rapport - and no trust. My father still does not like to go to the doctors because he just doesn't trust them. I think had he run into someone like david coppola along the way he may have felt differently and he may have sought his health care sooner for health issues. 04:24:22 SURGEONS - and I can say it because I am one -the stereotype is not to be warm and friendly. The stereotype is to be cold. But it is a stereotype. Surgery 2 2:13:53 There's some sense of you can't get too close to patients because there's a fear that it would get in the way. But I think there's a long way to go before you have to worry about that. 2:13:53++++ If I ever thought that I was getting too close and it was going to cloud my judgment I would never do that. I am still very much able to make a strong clinical decision when I have to As patient and physician battle the cancer, their bond becomes like that of soldiers under fire against a deadly enemy. Coppola 5 5:11:20 linda is an interesting person. She brought me a present the day she came to surgery. She brought me a flower - a daffodil - the symbol of hope of the American cancer society and it is the flower of hope for a cure for cancer. So she brought me this flower the day of her surgery which was wonderfully touching - just what you want to do get emotional before you start an operation. Williams 1 5:22:11+++ I wrote a little note that said "Dear Dr Coppola, please take only the bad ones and asve me all the good ones and made a little smiley face - love Linda. 5:12:48 So we pinned it to the back of my gown so I could have it with me the whole time I was operating on her and she took a picture of me operating on her with the flower pinned to my back. To let them know the flower was with me the whole time I was operating. Williams 1 5:24:20 the post it note was just a way of me trying to control a little of what was to happen. I knew I would be out and I wouldn't be able to tell him so I think it made him think. Coppola 5 5:15:29 I think it is very important for a woman who has had a breast cancer to continue to have a relationship with their surgeon to help detect a recurrence. And it allows you to take good care of the patient but to maintain that continuity and the relationship you built up with them. I think as much as the patients like it I like it as well. It is very gratifying for me to have that kind of continuity. That continuity means everything to breast cancer patients like Linda who live with the reality that the cancer could return Williams 2 6:00:52 I don't want to fool myself. I know I have had cancer and I am lucky that it was caught fairly soon. But there is a chance it could have traveled and that is in the back of your mind. When you have had it touch other people's lives in your immediate family it makes you sit up and take notice and not take it for granted. 4:14:47+++ Every time they go to the doctor and hear the doctor say you're okay it is more positive reinforcement. Williams 2 6:01:42 ++ I want to be a realist about it. I want to teach my kids that. That you go on with your life. 9:07:58 We meet at UNH hockey games and he'll be sitting in one section and we'll be sitting one section over. most times we get up and get together in one period or another and give each other a hug, He says how are things going and it's just nice. Nice to know that he really cares." Breast cancer is a life altering experience - it changes the patient physically and emotionally. While fighting breast cancer is a very personal battle, Dr. Coppola's patients know they will not fight that battle alone. A very special bond is made. 5:07:59 it is like that with most of my breast cancer patients. You see them so often and you are helping them through something that is extremely difficult and if I can help them and help make any of it any easier then I am truly grateful and I will do more if they will let me do it - If they want me to be there for them. 5:18:02++ I feel lucky to have met these people. I wish it were under different circumstances but I feel really blessed and that is exactly how I felt… feeling that someone had touched my life that really meant something. audio coppola 4 4:15:33 I plan to see my breast cancer patients for life. |

| Winter Forecast Return to index of stories... |
If you think global warming might save you from a chilly winter weather this year, National Weather Service forecasters say "think again." Meteorologists predict sharp swings in temperature, with rain and snowfall. They also warn of potential Nor'easters here in the Northeast. One of the reasons for the expected temperature swings is the lack El Nino and La Nina phenomena in the central Pacific. In addition the Arctic Oscillation is expected to bring cold-air spurts to the South, and Nor'easters on the East Coast. |

hrwavbhofn -- Governor Jeanne Shaheen is asking the federal government to extend legal protections provided active duty personnel to National Guard members who are protecting New Hampshire airports. She also said she will propose legislation to protect the jobs of National Guard members when they are called up for active state duty. The federal Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act provides limited civil protections to men and women performing military duty, such as delaying civil cases and limited relief to pay debts. But, Shaheen said, the general counsel for the Department of Defense has taken the position that National Guard members activated for airport duty are not protected by the federal act. |
