Lois Rasmussen is the chairman for the Patient Service and Rehabilitation Division of the North Davis American Cancer le Society District. Jeff Johnson attends high school. Ardella enjoys the companionship of her husband who retired from operating Mels Shoe Store in Clearfield about two years ago. Mert-lic- h FOR THE past eight weeks these people with diverse backgrounds and interests have met together the Humana Hospital Davis North portable classroom. John, Lois, Jeff and Ardella are all cancer patients. They and four other cancer patients have been Can Cope" semiattending an nar conducted by the American Cancer Society. Family members join the class sessions hoping to learn more about cancer and how it affects the human body, physically each Monday evening in 1 and emotionally. JUDY BERGOLD, staff nurse at the Humana Hospital has been the volunteer instructor. Class members claim her interest in the patients has contributed much to a successful experience. Judy explains the Coping class is one method of teaching patients and family members of those undergoing cancer treatment how to handle stress in daily living when you have a chronic disease. SPECIAL guest lecturers at the Coping Classes have been a medical doctor, a nutritionist, a physical therapist, a psychologist and Miles Shepard, a cancer patient. Many things have been learned Coping through the eight-wee- k class. One speaker reminded the patients that at least once a week the average person walks by at least 15 people who have had can cer. There are over 300 types of cancer. Some of the methods used to determine if chemotherapy is working include hormone tests, bone scans, kat scans, changes in digestive processes and blood tests. Each cancer patient reacts differently. You cant compare yourself with others. JOHN PAPAR says the most helpful part of the coping class has been educating family members so they will understand what is going on. Lois Rasmussen has been the North Davis District Chairman for the American Cancer Society Patient Service Rehabilitation group for three years. Fourteen months ago she became a cancer patient, giving her the opportunity to take advantage of services she would normally offer to others. JEFF JOHNSON is seriously ill. His best hope for recovery is a bone marrow transplant that will cost about $100,000. An additional $100,000 to $150,000 is needed for air fare to Seattle, extended care and other related expenses. People wishing to contribute money to Jeff can mail a check to his grandparents, Alice and Bernard Johnson at 445 N. Main, Farmington. Other class members say the most valuable part of the class is the opportunity they have to ask questions, to discuss common problems and experiences, to meet people with the same concerns and to learn just what is going on inside their bodies.
