He was shocked when he was diagnosed recently with prostate cancer. "And raine is fast grow- "As far as I know, there are no support groups for prostate cancer." The American Foundation of Urologic Disease (AFUD) and ICI Phanna are going to change this. They recently announced the development of a manual for urologists on how to set up local support groups, "Helping Your Patients Overcome the Effects of Prostate Cancer: A Guide for Establishing Support Groups."

"Each man over 40 should have a checkup on his birthday every year," he said. "It's a simple exam and takes only a few minutes. It's kind of a private matter, though, and men don't like to go get a checkup by their doctor." But the alternative may be prostate cancer which can affect Hal Williams cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in 1990, and more than 30,000 die of the disease annually. The prostate is a gland just below the bladder in the male genital tract. "There is a 5050 chance if you are over 40 that you may develop cancer of the prostate," Hal said. Personally he is physically fit. He plays tennis on a regular basis with his wife Dee and grandson, Brick. And he says he also has a healthy diet. But he did have some negatives iu his family.

These men and women are dedicated to providing high quality care for patients while completing specialty training. When they are forced to work 36 hours at a stretch, they can't possibly function at 100 percent efficiency. The patients are the losers.

Today, however, the doctor may use one or more of the following methods surgery, hormone treatments, radiation and anticancer drugs. The choice depends on the stage of the cancer and your age and health. Surgery and radiation therapy may be the treatment chosen if it is found in an early, localized stage. Hormone treatment and anticancer drugs also may control cancer in advanced stages for long periods by shrinking the size of the tumor and greatly relieving pain. Currently, up to 85 percent of patients are surviving five years after treatment of localized prostate cancer.

When symptoms do develop they vary amrding to the she and location of the tumor, and are often the same as those for benign prostate conditions.

I agree that those old schedules should be humanized. Here's another point of view. Dear Ann Landers: I read with interest your recent column en residentsinterns working 36 hours on and 12 hours off. I was trained in that era and am writing to defend it. The 36 hours on duty and 12 hours off sounds a lot tougher than it actually is. A fair amount of sleep can be obtained during that stretch. There are some specialties, primarily those involving the operat Your Horoscope For April 11 By Jeane Dixon BAVX ing room, where long hours are an absolute necessity. Those who choose to go into surgical specialties are the ones who seem to understand the stamina that is required and they possess the Darwinian capacity to endure it. The rationale of the long schedule was twofold: to enable the young man or woman in training to become exposed, physically and emotionally, to the rigors of surgery, as well as imparting, even with its imperfections, a sense of continuity in the care of patients. I might also add that most of us were so happy to have been accepted in a training program and were so humbled by the amount of knowledge to be learned that we felt it took such a schedule to accomplish our goal in such a short period of time. Ann, I can tell you with absolute candor that I have no recollection of ever witnessing a mistake made from exhaustion due to long hours, nor do I remember complaints from the physicians who were on support is of great significance. We are hoping that other organizations which influence and control the standards for residency training programs will also take a stand in favor of sane work hours for resident physicians.
