OF BREAST CANCER.
KISS HER?
WE ARE WATCHING THE MONITOR AND
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE
PEOPLE
THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING WELL.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT --
A SEPARATION OF SURVIVAL --
THAT'S WHERE WE ARE HEADING
WITH BREAST CANCER DOWN THIS
TYPE THAT WE CAN TREAT AND
CURE.
WE HAVE SURVIVORS TO TAKE CARE
OF.
ONE IN FIVE WOMEN IN THE
COUNTRY WILL BE ALIVE AND WELL
HAVING HAD BREAST CANCER BY
2030.
AS WE MOVE FORWARD, EVEN AFTER
THE EVENT IS OVER WOMEN NEVER
BE TOTALLY CURE -- THEY ARE
ALWAYS WOMEN -- A CAN BE 10,
20, 30 -- I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL
VANTAGE POINT -- HIM WE HAVE
THE PARADIGM AND SAINT JOSEPH.
WE TAKE CARE OF ALL THE FIRST
CANCER SURVIVORS -- WE SEE
EVERY PATIENT BETWEEN SIX
MONTHS-ONE YEAR.
SINCE 1975.
MY MOTHER YOUR SURVIVOR AND
LIFT TO 100.
WE HAVE ESTABLISHED AN
ENDOWMENT IN HER HONOR TO
PROVIDE SERVICES.
WHAT WAS A PERSONAL NOTE?
THIS IS COME HERE EVERY
YEAR.
WE TAKE PICTURES IT IS THE
GREATEST FUN.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE
YEAR.
CHRISTMAS, NEW YEAR'S,
THANKSGIVING WRAPPED INTO ONE.
WHAT IS IT LIKE AS A DOCTOR
TO SEE THE WOMEN AT THE DARKEST
HOUR AND THEN SEE THEM IN THE
LIGHT?
IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEM WITH
THEIR HERE.
THEY ARE RECONSTITUTED --
FOR THEIR HANDS -- A LOT OF
RESEARCH AND SECURITY AND
MAKING THEM FEEL THEY WILL DO
WELL.
JUST BEING HERE AND SEEING
THEM YEAR AFTER YEAR.
WILL THERE EVER BE A CURE
IT'S GREAT THAT PEOPLE ARE
LIVING LONGER BUT PEOPLE THAT
WE INTERVIEWED -- THEY STILL
FEEL IN THE BACK OF THE MIND
THAT IT COULD COME BACK.
WILL WE EVER GET A CURE?
WERE GETTING CLOSER -- A LOT
OF THE FUNDS IN TERMS OF
RESEARCH -- WE ARE SEEING MAJOR
PROGRESS BECAUSE WHEN I STARTED
DOING THIS WE WERE DOING A
RADICAL MASTECTOMY AND NOW WE
ARE DOWN TO LUMPECTOMY'S AND
NOW WE ARE ALMOST TO THE POINT
WHERE WE COULD TAKE IT BY A THE
AND ANALYZE TREATED
SPECIFICALLY -- TREAT IT
SPECIFICALLY.
MAYBE NOT EVEN OPERATE.
WE ARE MAKING GREAT STRIDES.
AT SOME POINT WE WILL COME VERY
CLOSE TO CURING IT OR
PREVENTING IT.
MUCH LIKE SMALLPOX AND POLIO.
WE ARE GETTING THERE.
WITH ALL OF THIS OUT OF THE
WAY IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU HAVE TO
-- EVEN KEEL, POSITIVE.
THE LADIES A POSITIVE.
ABSOLUTELY.
THEY SAY WE ARE GOING TO BE
THIS.
WE ARE GOING TO DO IT.
MY JOB IS TO LET THEM EMERGE
AS THE BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES
THAT THEY ARE.
THAT'S IMPORTANT.
YES.
IT'S CRITICAL TO HAVE STRONG
SUPPORT TO KEEP GOING.
SEE ALL THE TEAMS HERE --
PEOPLE ARE DRESSED UP IN CRAZY
OUTFITS.
YES.
ANOTHER THING IS, WHEN YOU
HAVE CANCER -- YOU TAKE THE
BLINDERS OFF AND THESE PEOPLE
COME INTO YOUR LIFE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE A
SUPPORT SYSTEM -- A COMMON
BOND.
THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THIS.
