n March 2010, Lael Swank was 39
when she was diagnosed with breast
cancer. She armed herself with support
from family and friends, a team of local
doctors, and a medical team at Fox Chase
Cancer Center in Philadelphia.
Now, a year later and cancer-
free, Swank, friend Linda
Wojnar and three oth-
ers have formed
the Sunflower
team and will
participate in
the three-day
Susan G. Ko-
men 3-Day for

On her road to recovery,
Swank recalled receiving a letter
from a little girl in her sons sec-
ond-grade class. It was one of
many letters, Swank said. She
wrote, Mrs. Swank I think you
are the only person I ever known
to have cancer.
I thought, I probably am, so I
have to set an example, she
said.
Once her treatments ended,
Swank visited the class often.
The children were excited to see
her light brown hair slowly
growing back.
This reminds me of a statis-
tic, one in eight will develop
breast cancer, which means two
of those little girls will develop
breast cancer, she said. Hope-
fully, by making them aware at
such a young age will help
them.

If youre youngwithearly-stage
breast cancer, a mastectomy isnt
your only option for treatment,
according to a study by the Uni-
versity of Maryland.
Researchers found that a lump-
ectomy and radiation is just as
viable.
The results of the analysis of
nearly 15,000 patients listed in a
nationwide cancer registry were
being presented at the recent
2011 Breast Cancer Symposium
in San Francisco.
The researchers said that mas-
tectomies have been on the rise
among young women because of
concerns regarding cancer recur-
rence.
We believe these findings are
verysignificant for youngwomen
with early-stage breast cancer
who might choose to have a mas-
tectomy in the hope of improving
their outcome, Steven J. Feigen-
berg, a radiationoncologist at the
University of Maryland and lead
author of the study, said in a
statement. This study confirms
that breast-conservation therapy
is a safe, effective treatment op-
tionandwill not have a detrimen-
tal effect on survival.
Previous studies have suggest-
ed that young women have high-
er local recurrences of their can-
cer with breast-conservation
therapy, but these studies did not
demonstrate an effect on surviv-
al, Feigenberg said.

Jack Walker (Tipsy Turtle co-owner) and staff...not to forget all of his
loyal customers and corporate sponsors that goal has been achieved.

Patel advises women with a
family history of breast cancer to
start having annual mammo-
grams beginningat age 35.
Self-examinations do play a
preventive role in finding breast
cancer early, if donecorrectly. Pa-
tel, said 60 to 70 percent of cases
of breast cancer are found
throughself-examination.
Women should be taught the
proper procedure and how a
healthy breast should feel, he
said. Normal fatty deposits can
feel likealump, but doesnot indi-
cate cancer. Patel said there are
teaching tools available at the
Thomas P. SaxtonMedical Pavil-
ion to teach women what a
healthy breast should look and
feel like.
Powell advises self examin-
ations should be done the same
time every month about 7 to 10
daysafter menstruation. Shesaid
hormone changes occur during
menstruation which will affect
the way breasts feel.
Another fact Patel said is the
risk of breast cancer increases
with age. Powell has seen situa-
tions where older women in the

knows no bounda-
ries. It affects un-
expected people: men
and women, teenagers
and the elderly. No mat-
ter who breast cancer
touches, it seems unlike-
ly that anyone can ever
be truly prepared for it.
Thankfully, the effort in
the Wyoming Valley by
an inspiring network of
businesses, services and
survivors working to en-
sure support for patients
knows no boundaries, ei-
ther.
Eva Ofcharsky workedfor sever-
al retailers that offered products
for breast cancer patients before
opening That Special Woman, a
womens health care boutique in
Edwardsville, in 1996. Ofcharsky
says, When patients are going
through chemo and not feeling
well, or after surgery, going from
placetoplacefortheproductsthey
need is tiring. Women had to go
here, there and everywhere. I
wanted to create a place where cli-
ents could get all of the services
they need in one place.
Ofcharsky offers products such
asbreast prostheses, brasandpost-
surgical camisoles as well as hair
loss products such as human hair,
synthetics and integration pieces.
She is also a certifiedReiki Master
and offers the therapy at the bou-
tique. Reiki promotes relaxation
and calming during the treatment
process and helps with emotional
and mental healing, she says.
At That Special Woman, clients
can schedule appointments in a
one-to-one private setting. Fifteen
years after the boutiques opening,
Ofcharsky has created a founda-
tion of friendship for her clients
and a focal point for a network of
area survivors.
We host four retreat weekends
for survivors a year, Ofcharsky
says, Three in NewYork and one
inWhite Haven. Its aneverything-
in-onepackage: webusthewomen
out. We offer exercise, Reiki, mas-
sage. We go horseback riding and
whitewater rafting sometimes
we have to go outside our comfort
zone to find our inner strength.
And going inside themselves is
the biggest challenge Ofcharsky
believes breast cancer patients
face. You do have to be your own
patient advocate, she says, but
always have a second person with
you. Youreonarollercoasterride.

P
artial Breast Irradiation (PBI) is not only a less taxing and more convenient alternative
totraditional radiationtherapy for breast cancer patients, but researchsuggests it is just
as effective. Approved by the FDA in 2002, PBI slashes treatment time from the tradi-
tional fivetosevenweeks tojust fivetosevendays. This alternativeradiationis availablelocally
through Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, and the service is expected to arrive at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley within a calendar year.
Dr. Thomas Gergel, director of
the radio oncology stereotactic ra-
dio surgery program at Geisinger
Health System, discussed why
PBI proves a more viable option
than conventional treatments for
some patients.
Patients best suited to receiv-
ing partial breast irradiation are
those in the early stages of breast
cancer who have undergone
breast-conserving surgery and
whose tumors are 2 to3 cmor less
with negative lymph nodes, said
Gergel. He explained, Partial
breast irradiation involves treat-
ment of only the portion of the
breast that includes the lumpecto-
my cavity, plus a limited amount
of surrounding tissue. Because a
smaller volume of breast tissue is
irradiated, treatment times are
significantly shorter than conven-
tional treatment.
Whereas radiation methods
that target the entire breast re-
quire daily treatment for an aver-
age of six weeks, PBI is adminis-
tered twice daily for one week as
an outpatient procedure. Gergel
explained the typical process for a
breast cancer patient undergoing
PBI.
Once a patient receives breast-
conserving surgery either a
lumpectomyor apartial mastecto-
my anda clear pathology report,
imagingis usedtostudythecavity
of the breast where the tumor was
removed. The
patient under-
goes a very sim-
ple outpatient
surgery tohave a
balloon placed
in the cavity.
During treat-
ment, a small ra-
dioactive source at the end of a
wiresendsradiationtotheballoon
for 10 minutes, ensuring that radi-
ation is concentrated precisely to
the targeted tissue. Patients do
not remain radioactive after treat-
ments and the balloon is easily re-
moved after the week through a
hole in the skin. Gergel estimates
that each treatment takes 1 hour
and notes daily treatments must
be received 6 hours apart.
The cons against receiving PBI
remain few. The main one that
Gergel points out is that the
amount of research data available
for the procedures effectiveness is
comparatively low when mea-
sured against older treatment
methods. He says data about PBI
is not as robust or comprehen-
sive. Wehave10to15or 20yearsof
data on typical radiation. We are
just starting to get 8- to10-year da-
ta (for PBI). Theres not a lot of da-
ta for 40- to 50-year-olds or young-
er. But what data there is says its
as effective as traditional radi-
ation.
A large ongoing study is being
conducted by the Radiation Ther-
apyOncologyGroup(RTOG) toas-
sure that PBI is equivalent to other
formsof treatment. Withmorethan
4,000 women participating, Gergel
says that more nuanceddata such
as whether a certainage groupben-
efits more from PBI, or if a patient
can receive PBI with one positive
lymph node will be forthcoming
in a fewyears. In the meantime, ra-
diation and breast study institu-
tions have worked to create the es-
tablishedcriteriafor theprocedure.
Gergel said, Fiveyearsagowhen
this was brand new, doctors had a
hard time getting the procedure ac-
cepted by insurance. But as data
has matured, it has become much
easier. While Gergel did not pro-
vide exact costs of PBI at this point
intime, his researchjust afewyears
back indicated that the costs of PBI
and traditional radiation were
pretty comparable, with PBI per-
haps costing a bit less. While not
all patients may be candidates for
this type of treatment, the Geisin-
ger staff agrees it represents a great
stepforwardtowardcontinuingthe
evolution of breast cancer treat-
ment.

from liver failure possibly
caused by the bone marrow
transplant she had received to
combat breast cancer.
Using their own experiences,
Swank and Wojnar are trying to
raise awareness of breast can-
cer.
Knowing early detection is
key, Wojnar has been getting
mammograms for 6 years due
to her gynecologists recom-
mendation.
Most health insurance com-
panies will not cover mammo-
grams under the age of 40, un-
less a family history of breast
cancer is established, she said.
Swank, with no family histo-
ry of breast cancer, discovered a
lump in her left breast while
showering. She immediately
made a doctors appointment.
The doctor found a tumor,
six centimeters in diameter in
her left breast.
The doctor said it was not
good, she said. On a scale
from 1 to 10, of it being cancer,
it was high.
She told her husband, Randy.
Then the couple broke the
news to their two sons, Garrett,
7, and Jason, 4. Swank recalled
Randy taking Garrett out to the
garage to tell him mommy has
cancer.
I can still hear him scream-
ing, No, no, no, she said.
Jason did not fully grasp the
meaning of what was happen-
ing, Swank said. Later, she
asked him what his memory
was when the word cancer
came into their house.
His answer was, do you re-
member when we went to the
doctors office and you were
crying, Swank said. I thought
it was over conversations we
had with him. I completely for-
got he came with me because I
did not have a babysitter.
The next big step was decid-
ing whether or not to tell her
family and friends.
I had to decide if this is
something to keep inside and
fight this cancer alone, Swank
said.
Being open about it was her
choice. Family and friends of-
fered support in anyway possi-
ble, from taking care of the
boys, to helping with chores
and accompanying her to treat-
ments.
Wojnar voluntarily took on
the role of a communication coor-
dinator. She developed a page on
carepages.com, keeping every-
one informed on treatments and
Swanks progress.
Anything I could do to reduce
the stress on her, I did, Wojnar
said.
Randy juggled caring for the
boys, his wife and taking care of
meals.
If anything I fell more in love
with him during this, Swank
said. I say this with tears in my
eyes. He never missed one ap-
pointment.
The severity of the cancer was
determined after a nine-hour sur-
gery where both breasts were re-
moved and reconstructed with
muscle tissue fromSwanks abdo-
men. It was breast cancer Stage II
B. The cancer did not spread to
the lymph nodes in the breast. In
the following months, she had 16
rounds of chemotherapy, and 25
radiation treatments.
The year passed, earmarked by
different anniversaries, Swank
said.
The day I was diagnosed, the
day of my surgery, the day I ended
chemo, the day I ended radi-
ation, she said.
Friends since eighth grade,
Wojnar watched her friend push
through the recovery process and
the emotional turmoil it caused.
Some people can sit back and
hurt and not do anything, Woj-
nar said. Lael hurt, but you have
to deal with it. It is what it is --
there is no changing it, you have
to deal with it.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I read
the letter from On
My Own in Bloom-
ington, Ind. (Aug.
5), who needed a
ride to her colonos-
copy appointment
but didnt have trans-
portation. Your suggestions were ad-
mirable, but there is another service
you should be aware of.
Many states have a 2-1-1 Informa-
tion and Referral Service, often spon-
sored by the local United Way. It has
trained information and referral spe-
cialists available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to listen to individuals
needs or questions, help callers make
informed decisions, and link them to
a variety of community resources that
fit their needs.
Those needs could be anything
from a volunteer driver for a medi-
cal appointment to help caring for
an aging relative, consumer help,
child-care services, finding a local
food shelf, domestic abuse shelter
or chemical dependency treatment.
When you dont know whom to call,
call 2-1-1. It is available to help you
find answers confidentially.
Lynetta in Duluth, Minn.
Dear Lynetta: My readers never
cease to amaze me. You always come
through with all kinds of suggestions
for any situation, as you did again.
Thanks to all of you. Im sure the
information will be appreciated. My
newspaper readers comments:
Dear Abby: I have a few suggestions
for On My Own. She should contact
a social worker at the hospital where
her doctor works. As you pointed out,
many people have this problem, and I
bet the social worker will have some
solutions.
Second, there is probably a nursing
school nearby. She should contact the
dean of students to find out whether
a nursing student would be available
and would like to earn some extra
money in this useful way.
Jacqueline, R.N., New York
Dear Abby: This is one of the many
jobs home-health care aides are
hired and trained for. My mother has
worked for an agency and has ac-
companied many clients seniors
and younger people on doctor and
hospital visits. Many businesses that
advertise senior care also provide
services to non-seniors with disabili-
ties, temporary health issues, and
people who just need a friend for a
few hours.
There are also volunteer organiza-
tions that provide similar services,
although some may not have train-
ing or appropriate insurance or be
bonded by the organization, as many
home-health care businesses do.
Alexandra in Pittsburgh
Dear Abby: Many senior centers
offer this service for medical ap-
pointments and procedures. The
drivers are covered by insurance
and are trained on customer service
techniques. My husband has taken
many people for this procedure. He
typically leaves his number with the
medical staff, who call him when
the patient is ready to be picked up.
Rarely do patients need someone at
home with them afterward as long as
they stay quiet.
Happy to Help in Irvine, Calif.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youre
still not sure whether to attend
an upcoming event. Sure, your
friends will be there and so will
your frenemies. You may be
worried about how to bridge the
divide.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Once
you give someone a special
place in your heart, youre not
likely to get the space back. It
will be like a tenant who never
leaves and maybe he or she is
so solid that you dont ever want
that tenant to go.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There
is always something inconve-
nient about morality. Yet, if you
really believe in the rightness or
wrongness of an action, there
will certainly be consequences
for following through with it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). When
it comes down to presenting
ideas, youll have the winning
delivery. Whether its about
where to go for lunch or how to
invest money, your way of stat-
ing things will heavily influence
others.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a day
to follow your own interests. Talk
to people who stir your curiosity,
and take pictures of the things
you find beautiful. As you honor
your preferences and inclina-
tions, everything falls in line.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will
be excited to go further into an
area of study. You sense that
what you know already is just
the tip of the iceberg.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The
pretty things you want also hap-
pen to be expensive. Can you
address practical matters such
as your budget and still uphold
your aesthetic ideals? If anyone
can, its you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Staying
balanced requires flexibility.
Your level of grace depends on
just how quickly you can make
adjustments. It takes the right
combination of strength and flu-
idity to dance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
There are times when you feel
like youre just pretending to
be yourself. Usually, this state
reflects a change in your identity
that you havent quite caught up
with yet.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A
situation is causing you more
worry than you had anticipated.
Its nobodys fault that you feel
the way you do. You are the only
one who can move yourself into
a new emotional tone.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
like so many things about your
life these days. One of the things
you like most is that you recog-
nize your own power to change.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your
extremely high expectations
sometimes benefit you, though
these expectations may cause
you and others more stress than
theyre worth.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Oct. 11).
Your active pursuit of a new
goal will release an inner well of
strength in you. Family dynamics
improve in November. Youll pick
up a fun new habit or interest in
December. It is so impressive the
way you remain focused through
conflict in January, and you will
be promoted to a position of
leadership. Sagittarius and Aries
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 5, 25, 41, 39 and 18.
