Free public forum
focuses on breast
health and cancer

THE CANADIAN Cancer Society
and the Screening Mammography
Program of B.C. are hosting a
free public forum called Breast
Health for Life.

Held 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 22 at
the Robson Square Conference
Centre, the forum panellists in-
clude several specialists in breast
health and cancer.

The forum will be moderated by
CBC anchor Kevin Evans, the
honorary campaign chairman for
the Canadian Cancer Society.

A free educational seminar will
also be held on Oct. 28 at 5:30
p.m. at the YWCA, 580 Burrard
St

Seminar presenters include Ca-
nadian Cancer Society volunteers,
Dr. Denise Werker, a community
health physician, and Sheila King
of the Screening Mammography
Program of B.C.

This informal seminar will p7zo-
vide women of all ages an oppor-
tunity to learn about early detec-
tion and to ask questions.

The forum and seminar are purt
of the Canadian Cancer Society's
campaign to raise awareness of
cancer during ‘‘breast
‘health month’’ in October.

The Canadian Cancer Society
encourages women to monitor
their breast health by monthly
self-examinations, annual breast
examinations by a physician, and,
if 40 or over, an annual mam-
mogram.

This year in B.C., an estimated

2,200 women will discover they
have breast cancer. Breast cancer
may account for 580 deaths in
B.C. this year, or 18% of all fe-
male cancer deaths in the pro-
vince.

forum, cail 879-2323. For infor-

sound and humor of modern
poetry.

From the early 1970s,
Australian poetry has seen a
re-birth of poetry as an oral
tradition. As a result, Herrick,
like other poets, are taking
their work into relatively un-
chartered waters.
