A regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer Society, to help save your life from cancer. A factory worker inquirer 'ly mother is ill with cancer but we can't afford to keep her in the hospital continu- ously. What can we do?" ANSWERIine: There are a number of home care and re- habilitation programs that tun help in such situations. Self-help programs use the strength of group interaction. Cured cancer patients are very effective volunteers. For advanced cancer patients, there is a growing number of hospice programs that com- bine sophisticated pain relief with a home.like environment. Your local ACS can tell you what services are offered in your community. A ]unior high school student asks: "Is it true that our bodies sometimes fight off cancer all by themselves?" ANSWERlino: Our bodies do have a complex disease-fight. ing mechanism called an im- mune system, and it fights cancer just as it does a cold or the measles. If we didn't have this immune system, we would get sick much more often than we do. In fact, some doctors believe that everyone always has cancer otential or something in the ody that could develop into cancer - but normally the body's own defenses keep the cancer from becoming active. Researchers are now experi- menting with ways of stimul- ating the immune system to fight disease, including cancer. This process, called immuno. therapy, is producing good results for some cases of melanoma, a serous form of skin cancer, and is being tested on a variety of other cancers, including leukemia and breast cancer. Many sL- cisl/sts hold out great hope for immunotherapy, but it is still yew much in the expefl. mental stage. Riverview P.T.A.
