Yes! I had cancer
lowered cost
think cancer is incurable. They're wrong and I can prove it! So can 800,000 other Americans like me. "On a gray morning in November, 1942, a specialist confirmed the diagnosis of cancer made by my family doctor. What he had to say reassured me. "He explained that, thanks to my habit of having yearly checkups, my doctor had caught the cancer in its early stage. It was localized and it could be completely removed by surgery. So, here I am as hale and hearty as if I'd never had cancer!"
'MANY PEOPLE
That was 15 years ago, when only 1 out of 4 persons with cancer was being cured. Today, thanks to improved methods of treatment, and earlier diagnosis, 1 person in 3 is being saved.
And with present knowle d g e , it can be 1 in 2, if everyone observes two simple precautions: Have a health checkup annually. Keep alert for cancer's seven danger signals. Progress in the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer depends on the dollars donated for its broad, nation-wide program of research, education and service to the stricken.
