patients get
helping hand

By CHERYL CALDERBANK
Stall Writer
When Rita Ross had a mastectomy (the surgical
removal of a breast) for breast cancer more than 10 years
ago, there was no volunteer service like the Canadian

There were no program volunteers when Ross had
her operation, but she was fortunate to have a “very
pose torre Sacrersehnel i reoremsher iad who had
some nursing training in his background.

After her mastectomy Ross, at that time a practical
nurse at Castlegar and District Hospital. was driven by a
desire to help mastectomy patients “not go through it
alone.”

And ever since Ross has been offering practical and
emotional support as a volunteer for the Cancer Society's
mastectomy Rehabilitation

Ross was the first program volunteer in Castlegar.
The program began in B.C. in 1973, in the Vancouver area
as a pilot project and begin in Castlegar in 1975, when
Ross became the first volunteer.

The program is based on the American Cancer
Society's program, entitled, Reach for Recovery.

others offering moral support and practical advice to
women who are undergoing similar operations.

Volunteers must also attend refresher courses
periodically to keep current with the changing
treatments and

In Castlegar, Ross is helped by two volunteers —
Mona Haak and Rose Koch. Haak took her training in
November 1961, but because of illness was not involved
again until 1983. Koch became a sew volunteer last
October.

Breast cancer among women is not uncommon.
Based on 1963 figures, the Canadian Cancer Society
estimates 9,400 new cases of breast cancer occurred in
1984. The Society also estimates 3,700 women died from
breast cancer last year.

In EC. im 1982 — the latest figures available —
figures show that there were 1.184 new cases of breast
cancer. Breast cancer claimed 433 lives in that year.

In 1980 there were 1.179 new cases reported and 407
deaths as a result of breast cancer.

Wendy Brunell, administrator of promotional
services at the Cancer Society's B.C. and Yukon division,
says that although it may look as though breast cancer is
on the increase, it isn’t.

“The reason (for the increase) is that the population
is growing,” she said.

In addition breast cancer oceurs most often in older

For example out of 100,000 men and women up to age
35, the incidence of breast cancer is negligibie

In the 35 and 44 age category there are 24 cases per
100,000 people; between age 45 and 54 there were 60
cases per 100,000 men and women.

Between ages 55 and 64 there are 65 cases. and
between ages 65 and 74 there are 120 incidents.

Between ages 75 and 84, there are 130 cases and over
85 ther are 200 cases for every 100,000 men and women.

Ross notes that the patients she has dealt with over
the years, have been as young as 19, and as old as 65. The
average age has been between 30 and 50. she says.

Volunteers who help mastectomy patients are
carefully selected and trained to visit the recent
mastectomy patient in the hospital or as soon a spossibie
after the patient has gone home, when the need for
support is most critical

The role of the mastectomy visitor is to help the
patients help themselves to recovery. The visitor will
establish a close relationship for a short time with the
ee ee ae with
warm and knowledge, and practical support, says a
Canadian Cancer Society brochure.

With Ross and her volunteers, the support usually
begins the night before the operation.

“We prefer to see them the night before because as

they lie there, all they're worrying about is, ‘What will I
look like,’ and “Will my husband still love me?’ ”

Ross recalls that when she had her mastectomy, her
husband, Lewis, said “he didn’t care if they cut off half of
my face, he'd still love me.”

But some are not so i Ross
notes that she has encounted “a few divorces” as a result
of a wife's mastectomy.

She says in some cases she will talk to husbands of
mastectomy patients who are trying to cope.

Ross says, “When the patients sees you, you say, ‘I
think I know how you feel and have been through it

‘But you haven't lost a breast.”

Ross tells | them that she had indeed lost a breast, and
assures the patients that with a proper fitting of a
prosthesis, it will be hard to tell they've had a
mastectomy

She says that when volunteers see a patient, they
display “what is possible” by wearing of a prosthesis.
Ross adds, “It's repulsive to a lot of people” to think of
having to wear a prosthesis, but that in her many years
as a volunteer, she only found one patient who didn't
want to wear one.

The patients are also afraid they won't be able to “do
everything” after the operation.

“We tell them there's no reason why with exercise,
they can't do everything,” Ross says.

“You tell them to do their exercise,” she says. “The
thing is, they hurt. When I had my operation, it was
painful, but I can do anything today.”

Ross says she tells the patient, “Look at me, I can do
everything. Can you tell I have been operated on?”

She adds that three months after her operation, she
was back working as a nurse.

“You lift patients (as a nurse),” Ross says. “It's not
an easy job. You can't go back and say, ‘I can’t do Mrs.
Smith because I can't lift her.

Volunteers also offer encouragement to patients.

“Today people are not as upset as they once were,”
Ross notes. “There's more public knowledge about it
(cancer)

“Ten or 12 years ago, it was not as publicized,” she
says.

“Years ago, it was degrading when one said, ‘I am
going in (the hospital) for cancer.’ It was thought, ‘We'll
bury her in six months.’ ”

But increased cancer publicity is resulting in earlier
detection.

“One day, we used to go to the doctor only when we
were sick,” she says. “Now, we are told to have these
checkups, which we didn't before.

“Nobody talked about cancer in those days because it
meant fear of death

But Ross adds that her mother had a double radical
mastectomy, yet lived “to a ripe old age.

Ross says she herself has dealt with four patients
who faced death from breast cancer.

“Very few believe they're going to die,”
“But they probably know it in their heart.”

To these patients, Ross gives moral support by
either visiting them in person or by phoning them
everyday

As a volunteer, Ross has taken many training
courses under the Mastectomy Rehabilitation Program.

In order to help provide answers to mastectomy
patients, she also took courses under the Emergency Aid
Program and the Cancermount Program, which deals
with death and dying

Ross is also the Kootenay district's Mastectomy
Rehabilitation Program chairman. She was elected to the
position in October 1983.

She is one of six chairman for the six districts in
the province.

BANKRUPTCY

VICTORIA (CP) — Bankruptcy remains one of
the few growth areas in the British Columbia
economy.

And Harry Atkinson, director of debtor assis-

Affairs Ministry, sees no prospect of an immediate
turnaround.

Atkinson said bankruptcy figures continue to es-
calate and he expects that trend to continue at least
until spring.

“The economy is still very, very distressed,” he
said. “We don't expect any improvement in the first
quarter at least.”

PQ split on independence

MONTREAL (CP) — The Parti Quebecois was left split
Saturday on the issue of Quebec independence after
two-thirds of the delegates to a special convention voted to
delete sovereignty from the PQ platform in the next
election.

The remaining third of the 1,500 delegates walked out of
the convention hall twice in protest against the party's
revised stand on independence.

“The Party Quebecois is no longer a sovereignist
party,” said Camille Laurin, spokesman for the dissidents,
who led them in their noisy exists. “The party has cut off its
own arms.”

The former social affairs minister said it was too early
to say what action the dissidents would take, but added the
two factions have not reached the divorce stage yet.

As Laurin spoke at a news conference, Premier Rene
Levesque gave the closing address to the one-day
convention, declaring that the PQ was “once again a
democratic sovereignist party.”

Levesque said his government would adopt a

$800.

The cat, a Devon Red, was left in a late-model

attending a cat-fanciers’ convention had locked the
doors, but left the motor running.

Someone broke a window and made off with the
truck and cat — there's no word on which was the
target of the theft.

SHOOTING DEBATED

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are split over
whether Berhnard Goetz should have taken the law
into his own hands and shot four youths on the New
York City subway, says a Washington Post-ABC News
poll.

Among people who knew enough about the
so-called vigilante case to have an opinion, 45 per cent
approved of the shooting, 46 per cent disapp and
nine per cent had no conclusion.

Goetz, a 37-year-old electronics engineer, is
awaiting possible trial on charges that he shot and
wounded the four teenagers after they harassed him
on a subway train Dec. 22. He was reported to have
told New York police that he shot them in self-defence.

In all, 1,505 people were interviewed Jan. 11-16
for the poll, Of those, 86 per cent were familiar with
the Goetz case.

SUMMIT UNLIKELY

WASHINGTON (REUTER) — Vice-President
Georg Bush said Saturday that a summit meeting
between President Reagan and Soviet leaders is

Soviet system even though the U.S. president has
toned down his anti-Soviet rhetoric in order to
improve diplomatic relations.

38 DIE IN CRASH

PEKING (AP) — Thirty-eight people, including
two Americans, died when a Soviet-built airliner on a
domestic flight crashed while it was attempting to
land at Jinan airport in eastern China, federal aviation
authorities said Saturday.

There were three survivors.

The twin-engined turboprop Antonov-24 was en
route to Peking from Shanghai when it crashed late
Friday afternoon, officials said. It had stopped in
Nanjing prior to flying to Jinan, capital of the east
coast province of Shandong, about 355 kilometres
southeast of Peking.

Officials gave no explanation for the crash or for
the delay in reporting it

AIRCRASH KILLS 40

MEXICO CITY (AP) — All 40 people aboard were
killed when a Cubana Airlines plane crashed shortly
after takeoff Saturday from Havana, the Cuban news
agency Prensa Latina said.

The report, monitored in Mexico City, quoted
official Cuban sources as confirming that the plane's 32
passengers and eight crew members died in the crash.

It said there were foreigners aboard but did not
give their nationalities.

The Soviet-made IL-18 plane took off from
Havana's Jose Marti airport about 5 a.m. Castlegar
time on a regularly scheduled flight to Managua,
Nicaragua, and minutes later crashed onto a road in
San Jose de las Lajas, in the outskirts of Havana, the
news agency said

The cause of the crash is not yet known, Prensa
Latina said.

WOMAN MURDERED

PARIS (REUTER — A 73-year-old woman was

10 women murdered in October and November. The

HE SEDUCED 85

PEKING (REUTER) — A smooth-talking Shan

pretending to be a movie star, the Liberation Daily
reported Saturday.

women he was a member of the China Youth theatre
group who had starred in several films and had
relatives abroad, said the Shanghai paper received in

He seduced young women in and outside

The premier said the change in the first article of the

election on independence.

“The cynicism and bad faith in Ottawa (during the
Trudeau years) led us into simplifications, into a ghetto,” he
said.

“Today we have got rid of that once and for all.”

Earlier, Levesque called the dissidents’ walkout “a bit
sad — for obvious reasons” but expressed a hope the split
within the party would not be permanent.

“Certainly we'll have to work without some of them,” he
said. “But I have solid hope that, if not most, quite a few of
them are going to think about it, think it over and come back

He added that “overall, I think it was one of the most

Ambassador recalled

OTTAWA (CP) — The External Affairs Department
is investigating allegations of black market currency
transactions involving the Canadian embassy in Cairo,
Southam News reported Saturday.

Reporter Dave Todd said Canadian Ambassador
John Schioler was replaced this month by Pat Black, a
special administrative adviser to Undersecretary of State
Marcel Masse.

Black will serve as charge d'affaires in Cairo until a
new ambassador is chosen, an External Affairs
spokesman said

Jody White, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark's
chief of staff, acknowledged late Friday that Clark had
“received a private briefing” on problems discovered at
the Cairo embassy as the result of an internal audit

Southam News said sources close to the foreign
currency investigation said Friday it appears to involve
sizeable discrepancies in the rates at which Egyptian
money was purchased and the rate at which these
transactions were reported to External Affairs.

Southam News has learned that at least three senior
employees of the Cairo embassy have been recalled to
Ottawa to explain what they know of such transactions,
which are thought to involve expense allowances, and
were uncovered last fall by the External Affairs
Department's internal audit division.

The news service said it is likely embassy staff
thought to be involved in the matter will be asked to
reimburse the federal government for the difference
between what they paid for Egyptian pounds and claims
submitted to external affairs.

However, it is not known whether disciplinary action
will be taken.

Rejean Dodd, an External Affairs spokesman,
confirmed Schioler “is being recalled because of an
internal management decision and a new assignment is
now being arranged for him.”

He was appointed to the Cairo post in September
1983.

Dodd refused to discuss the reason for the recall,
saying, “It's not department practice to comment on any
internal matter.”

REASSIGNS STAFF

But she added that two other officers of the Cairo
embassy are also being reassigned as a result of the
“internal management decision.”

Egypt has a complex system of currency rules and
several different official exchange rates, including a
standard bank rate and a special commercial rate for
external trade. Similar systems exist in many Third
World countries experiencing severe foreign exchange
shortages.

A source in the External Affairs Department who is
familiar with the Cairo case told Southam News the
internal audit found that profits of 30 per cent or more
were being made as a result of the exchange rate
discrephancies.

In New York, a broker for the firm Noona, Astley
and Pearce Inc., who specializes in Middle Eastern
currencies, said a 30-per-cent gap between the two most
common offieial rates has been usual in recent months.

The foreign service employees’ handbook, issued by
External Affairs’ personnel bureau, says “the cost of
purchasing or exchanging traveller's cheques or foreign
currency from accountable advances may be claimed
when supported by receipts.”

Another dissident, former cabinet minister Denise
Leblane-Bantey, complained bitterly that “a neo-federalist

majority controls the party.”

She said the one-third of the delegates who walked out
of the hall to protest the party's new position would continue

their fight.

If the party had allowed a secret vote on the
sovereignty issue, she said, “the level of support for the
so-called orthodox position would have been much higher.”

latest Rotary Exchange stu-
dent, Wendy Basson.

Basson is the daughter of
Virginia and Fred Basson of
Castlegar and a Grade 10
academic student at Stanley
Humphries Secondary
School.

She leaves for a year's
study under Rotary spon-
sorship at Jardon Opolise in
Brazil.

Introduced by Rotary Stu-
dent Exchange chairman Ron
Ross, Wendy thanked the
club, discussed the many
educational and cultural val.
ues to young people, and re-
minded the members of the
statement “the youth of to
day are the adult decision
makers of tomorrow.”

Basson said that although
she is a year in advance of the
usual grade for exchange
students, she was interested
in the program through con-

“versations with her brother

Gary, who last year won a
scholarship while in Grade 11
to enter the Armed Forces’
officers training school.
Meanwhile, since Portu
guese is the official language
of Brazil, Basson is taking
