Could you repeat it, please, because I take those pills. ANSWERLINE: Therapeutic estrogen hormones which can help correct the hormonal imbalance of menopause are useful and important to many ' women. However, because recently-reporte- d Statistical studies have associated estrogen intake with an increased risk of a form of uterine cancer, it is important for women like yourself to have a checkup, including a pelvic examination and Pap test, every six months. THESE recent studies are a reason for caution - not alarm - and your physician is best qualified to answer your questions about hormone treatment for you. A high school teacher writes: I just finished a magazine article that left me with the impression that there is a conspiracy to keep some cancer drugs from patients. These drugs are available in places like Mexico and Germany. Is this true? ANSERLINE: There is no conspiracy to ban or prevent the use of drugs which could save, prolong or ease the lives but there of cancer patients - is a deep concern that any drug given to a patient be of value without undue danger.

A store owner tells us: Last week 1 put a No Smoking Please sign that I made myself right on my counter. MANY of my customers said that they were glad to see it. Id like a more professional looking sign. Where can I get one? Answerline: Your local American Cancer Society has a sign that says, Thank You for Not Somking." Its yours for the asking. A READER says: I was using a mirror to check my throat because it felt sore. While my throat looked all right, I did notice some white patches on the roof of my mouth. Is that a cause for alarm? Answerline: White patches in any part of the mouth or on the tongue might possibly be a warning signal. YOU should definitely bring this condition to the attention of a physician, or your dentist. Both are trained to recognize possible cancer. It probably is not cancer, but if it should be, the earlier the diagnosis, the better the outlook - that is as true for oral cancer as it is for all forms of this disease. -- A MOTHER writes: My son is in a class with a little boy who is being treated for leukemia. While, the child is doing well, I cant help but be afraid that he will give the disease to my son. Answerline: The only thing that you have to fear is the superstition that cancer is contagious. Your son is ab- solutely safe. BUT your attitude might deprive him of a friend and cause grief to the other child. Perhaps a talk with your sons pediatrician might help put your mind at rest. A policeman writes: I gave up cigarettes two years ago after my uncle died of lung cancer. Do other people need that kind of warning? Why do so many still smoke? ANSWERLINE: The American Cancer Society estimates that 30 million Americans have quit smoking cigarettes. For those who still smoke, perhaps it is the belief that it cant happen to me that keeps them trom joining the nonsmokers. Lung cancer takes many years to develop, and it may be hard for the smoker of today to imagine himself or herself as the cancer patient of tomorrow.
