Prostate cancer myth
THE NEWS-TELEGRAM, Sulphur Springs. Texas, Tuesday, March 11,19M-3.
When do parents stop worrying about children?
No question has been asked more or answered less.
Is there a magic cut-off period when offspring
become accountable for their own actions? Is there a
wonderful moment when parents can become
detached spectators in the lives of their children and
shrug, “It’s their life,” and feel nothing?
When I was in my 20s, I stood in a hospital corridor
waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son’s
head and I asked, “When do you stop worrying?” and
a nurse with authority said, “When they get out of the
accident-prone stage.”
My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my 30s, I sat on a little chair in a
classroom and heard how one of my children talked
incessantly, disrupted the class, and was headed for a
career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a
teacher said, “Don’t worry. They all go through this
stage and then you can sit back and enjoy them.”
My mother listened and said nothing.
When I was in my 40s, I spent a lifetime waiting for
the phone to ring, the cars to come home, the front
door to open. A friend said, “They’re trying to find
themselves. In a few years, you can stop worrying.
They’ll be adults.”
By the time I was 50,1 was sick and tired of being
vulnerable. I was still worrying over my children, but
there was a new wrinkle. There was nothing I could do
about it. Yet I continued to anguish in their failures,
be tormented by their frustrations and absorbed in
their disappointments. My friends said when my kids
got married I could stop worrying and lead my own
life.
I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my
mother’s wan smile and her occasional, “You look
pale. Are you all right?” “Call me the minute you get
he
DEAR DR LAMB - My
husband says he read in your
column some years ago that
the prostate gland should nev-
er be cut into because if it is
cancerous cutting will spread
the cancer. He quotes you as
saying, "It gets the mother
but spreads the kids.” He's
having a prostate operation
sooii and is very fearful. I am
an LPN and have helped take
care of quite a few postopera-
tive prostatectomies and have
read some about cancer but
when 1 try to tell him any-
thing about it, he gets mad ’ 1
think he must have misunder-
stood something that he read.
Would you please send us
something on the subject?
DEAR READER - Your
husband certainly never read
that in my column. There are
a number of people who seem
to have the - misconception
that if you operate on cancer
it will cause it to spread.
That's not necessarily true.
The proper treatment for
many cancers is surgical

removal and the proper way
of diagnosing the presence of
cancer involves a biopsy,
which means cutting into the
suspicious area to remove a
piece of tissue. If cancer of
the prostate is found early
enough, complete surgical
removal of the cancerous
area is one of the most effec-
tive forms of treatment.
To help you I’m sending you
The Health Letter number 1-
6, Prostate Gland. Also to give
you more information about
cancer and how it spreads, I
am Sending you The Health

tome.
‘Are you depressed about something?”
Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of
worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a
torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears
of the unknown? Is concern a curse? Or is it a virtue
that elevates us to the highest form of life?
One of my children became quite irritable recently
when he said, “Where were you? I’ve been calling for
three days and no one answered. I was worried.”
I smiled a wan smile. The torch has been passed.

Dr. Wallace: I’d like to have a pet but I don’t know If a
dog or a cat is better. My best friend says that dogs make
much better pets but my mom doesn’t think so. She had a
cat when she was a kid and she thinks cats are cleaner and
easier to care for.
Please tell me if you have any pets and if so what are
they. Also tell me if I should get a dog or cat. — Charles,
Merced, Calif.
Charles: We have a dog (my favorite) and two cats (my
daughter's favorites) in the Wallace home but I’m going to
“chicken" out of telling you what to select as your pet.
But I did discover an excellent booklet that will be a big
help and it's free with a stamped, self-addressed business-

Dr. Wallace: My brother was allowed to start dating

Recently I turned 15 and have a boyfriend but my dad
won’t let us date even with another couple. In fact, he won’t
allow this boy to go to church with me.
I’ve tried everything but my dad won’t change his mind. I
feel he is being unfair and I’m hoping you feel the same
way. If so, I’ll serve him your column with breakfast next
Saturday morning. — Jenny, San Antonio, Texas.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 1$ and I need some advice. My mom has
remarried and I live with her. but my real father lives 100

Whenever I call him my mom always gets mad and starts
saying bad things about him. What can I do? I've talked to.
Mom and my stepdad but they just tell me to shut up. —
Rosey, Dixon, III.
Rosey: Divorce can leave bitter memories for the people
involved. Do more letter writing to Dad and when you do
call him, do it away from home. There is no need to get
Mom upset. But by "all means keep in close communication
with Dad.

One of the major ways that
cancer is spread is bv little
the '
cells from the original cancer
getting into the bloodstream
and being carried to new loca-
tions in the body. It can also
be carried by the lymphatic
circulation and lodge in the
lymph nodes.
DEAR DR LAMB -
Recently 1 had a severe
nosebleed and was advised
(not by a physician) to take
four tablets daily of vitamin
C. Each tablet contains 500
milligrams of vitamin C with
rosehips, 100 milligrams of
citrus bioflavinoids and 50
milligrams of rutin. Will that
help stop the nosebleed or is
that too much vitamin C? I’m
62 years old
DEAR READER - Go see
your doctor. No, that amount
of vitamin C is not likely to
hurt you but I’m not con-
vinced that it will solve the
problem of your nosebleed.
Many nosebleecs are associat-
ed with high blood pressure
Others are associated with
local irritations inside the
nose and, occasionally, there’s
a small artery that may have
developed a crack because the
artery has undergone fatty-
cholesterol changes in the
course of time.
Unexplained nosebleeds are
not something to just be
ignored, particularly in people
of your age group. A severe
one is sometimes very hard to
control. It would be a good
idea to have an examination
now and find out from a quali-
fied person if you have any
anatomical problem that
might need correction. If you
just happen to have a local
irritation that’s caused by
dryness, a satisfactory lubri-
cant may help solve the prob-
lem.
