Show I Th Herald Journal Logan Utah Tuesday August 24 1999 — Page 13 It’s a tribute not an insult By Ann Landers Oeators Syndicate Inc 'DEAR ANN LANDERS: Every time I iee a letter your column from someone questioning the remarriage of a widow or widower I want to write This time an actual letter goes in the mail My won- derful husband passed away 10 years ago He lost his battle with brain cancer at the age of 47 1 was a widow at 42 This is not the way I had planned my life 1 have a e job and a part-tim- e position which makes it possible for me to support myself comfortably and have some extras I now know I can get along on my own which has given me confidence and full-tim- self-estee- m My life is filled with family church and civic activities but I must confess Ann this does not fill the void I feel I long for someone to love and with whom I can talk cuddle laugh and play I miss the companionship and intimacy of marriage and would like to have that again This is not an insult to my late husband It is a tribute to him The Newspaper Enterprise Association DEAR DR GOTT: A friend of mine had breast cancer more than five yean ago Although the doctors caught it early they did therapy Fortunately she has had no recurrence Does this mean she's home free? DEAR READER: As a 'firm of medical shorthand in assessing the ment of cancer doctors use the term “five-ye- treatar cure" Some malignancies are cured in weeks and never recur Other cancers may lie dormant or in remission for many yean and then reappear Therefore in order to make comparisons possible physi- cians refer to the GEM OF THE DAY (credit Will Rogers): The business of government is to keep the government that is unless die business needs out of business government aid PS: This is Ann Will Rogers said this 30 yean ago I wonder if he had a crystal ball having been apparently eradicated Moreover due to presumed deficiencies in the immune system a person body’s cancer-detectican have a cancer cured only to develop a malignancy another “primary" tumor in a secondary site For instance women with malignancies in one breast have a statistically much higher chance of developing new cancers in the other breast Despite this unpleasant fact I believe that most patients feel justifiable relief at “making it” past five yean And they should There is a very good chance that their disease will not return DEAR DR GOTT My son has been diagnosed with an allergy to eggs and milk How can I replace the calcium he will miss by avoiding these foods? DEAR READER: Children who are allergic to eggs usually have to avoid eggs in any form this is ordinarily not too difficult People who are sensitive to milk on the other hand are usually reacting to milk sugar (lactose) which is present in many products However they can eat dairy products that have been with a digestive enzyme or they may be helped by using Lactaid an remedy for the same purpose If your son cannot tolerate tins option he can obtain the calcium necessary for growth and development by using calcium supplements There are a number of brands including chewable tablets cure Ordinarily a five-ye- ar person who is treated for cancer and shows no similar disease after five yean is considered “cured" I think it’s important to realize that five yean is nbt a magic number Patients who are disease-fre- e for more than five yean still require periodic evaluation because cancer is sometimes unpredictable and Unfortunately can show up many yean after Horoscope j Cl By Beihka Bette Osol News paper Enterprise Association rYOU'VE ALL BEEN CHOSEN FOR THIS TEAIA BECAUSE OF YOUR TALENT AND PROFESSIONALISE ARLO AND JANIS GRIZZWELLS pre-treat- ed ZITS J r-- 22-Ja- For Wednesday Aug 23 V Your birthday Small amounts could 20-Fe- accumulate into significant aims in the year ahead if you follow the practice of being both penny wise and pound conscious Pay atten- tion to all the little expendi- tures VIRGO (Aug 23-Se- pt 22) A guy or gal who wants your job could be within ear shot today so be careful when talking to persons you don’t know too well about things that should be kept confidential Virgo treat yourself to a birthday gift Send the required refund form and for your Astro-Grap- h predictions for the year ahead by mailand $2 stamped envelope to ing Astro-Grap- h do this newspaper PO Box 1738 Murray Hill Station New York NY 10136 Be sure tg state your Zodiac sign ‘LIBRA (Sept 23) You could come off as a faker instead of a doer if you talk too much about your hopeful expectations today Stick to topics in which others are involved ed 23-O- ct ’ ' SCORPIO (Oct 22) Attempting to 24-N- encourage someone by comparing him or her to a person who is out of this individual’s league is not ohly unfair and demeaning but could generate resentment instead of inspiration V SAGITTARIUS (Nov 21) Careful phrasis must In general a when you speak today ing 23-D- ec i GARFIELD ril 20-Ma- essence of things before you do Don’t be too embarrassed to say so in order to have the facts repeated CANCER (June 21 --July 22) Something traumatic could take place today if you are careless about your prized possessions It could be the little things you’ll mess up on — like a diamond LEO (July 22) Be careful not to allow yourself to dominate conversations when out with either business associates or dose pals The sound of your voice or ideas may not be sweet music to them 23-A- ug Crossword August 24 1999 27 Person ona ACROSS 1 Sec of State Vance 6 Group of two 10 Prosperous time J2 Queasy feeling 14 Actor Peter— 15 Like doctor often (2 wdsj if Peach part 17 Math wbr beat?
