28 - Sunday, February 22, 1987 - North Shore News Bosom APPRONIMATELY ONE in 12 women in Canada will develop breast cancer in the cour... of her life- time. When cancer is diagnesed and a woman has surgery, those closest to her often find themselves in unfamiliar and frightening territory. They want to know what is happening, what to expect from treat- ment, and the meaning of all those ‘strange new words". Having breast surgery deals with two major factors — disfigurement and coping with the possibil- ity that the cancer may spread. So says Bosom Buddies, a support group which formed a year ago on the North Shore and whose purpose is to help alleviate the fears and anxicties associated with breast disease and cancer. According to the group, trained volunteers of Reach To Recovery, sponsored by the Cancer Society, lelecourse produced MANY PEOPLE at Capilano Col- lege will be watching like proud parents when the first segment of the telecourse Planning Your Retirement airs on the Knowledge Network on Feb. 24. Every aspect of this TV pro- gram, from the research and writ- ing of the show to the filming, editing, and background music, was done by faculty and staff members at Cap. “This is not the first TV series we’ve ever done, but it is the first telecourse,’’ said executive pro- ducer Jim Bizzocchi. Over 25 col- lege personnel were involved in the production of the six-part series — wany of them from the Media esources program, but others from such diverse areas as English, Long Term Care and the Print Shop departments. “Capilano has been involved in TV productions for 10 years,’’ said Bizzocchi. “This is not the most ambitious program we've ever tackled, but it will reach a much larger number of British Colum- bians than any other project we’ve done.”’ Planning Your Retirement should be of particular value to people between the ages of 35 and 60. Series host Bob Switzer in- troduces six aspects of retirement planning — ’*finances, aging, health, housing, time and relation- ships. The show airs on Channel 18 (Tuesdays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays at 6 p.m.). But to get the most out of the program, the college advises enrolling through Telecoliege. Those enrolled will receive a print package which includes a text and worksheets for individual calcula- tions, “*The cooperation from all areas of the colleg2 in producing the course has been really outstan- ding,’’ said Bizzocchi. “But what makes us really ex- cited is that we’re fulfilling an im- portant social function with this series, and that’s what a communi- ty college should be doing.’’ To enrol in Planning Your Retirement call the Telecollege at 875-8217. The VITAMIN EXPERTS! | North Shore Health Foods Your One Stop Nutritional Shop udadies meet usually make a hospital visit, upon the doctor's refer- tal. A follow-up phone call or home visit follows a week later, but quite often it is several months after surgery when other factors arise: depression, lack of confidence, anger, and questions like ‘‘why me** and ‘tam [the only one?" Bosom Buddies feels that only someone who has been through the same experiences can truly unders- tand those feelings and fears, and invites anyone who would appreciate the support and encouragement of the group to come out to their nexi meeting. The meeting will be held Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. at North Lonsdale United Church lounge. Speaker, Bogna Ross, will discuss the subject of stress management.
