...some background. Colon cancer is highly curable when caught in the earliest stages. However, most relapses, when they occur, show up within five years of the initial treatment and are usually fatal. Perhaps 5% of metastasizing tumors are small enough to give patients a reasonable chance for complete cure. So there's a premium on finding and treating them early...
...tough intelligence to Alison's confusions; and Lane so all-American gorgeous she needn't act to be the center of every shot. She does act, though, and nicely. She locates Pearl's yearning in vagrant sighs and in sidelong glances at the big world exploding, outside her small one, into sex, drugs and eternal adolescence...
When I was "Little Johnny Hendricks," singing in Toledo, Ohio, in the late 1930s, JOE WILLIAMS was attracting attention in Chicago, where he had come up as a small child from "Go North" Georgia, as Joseph Goreed. Though our paths didn't cross till later, each of us knew what the other was doing. After the war he started sitting in with the Count Basie septet, and Basie hired him as a vocalist. Every Day made Joe an instant star. His voice was a magnificent instrument. It had everything--range, tone, vibrancy, sweetness--it was just mind boggling. He turned...

Moreover, it was small--about the size of a peanut--and did not seem to have spread. In fact, the biopsy that retrieved a sample of the tumor for testing may have removed the whole thing. She feels she had had all the surgery she needed--before the mastectomy. In 1994 Motichka filed the suit that she finally won two weeks ago. Dr. Cody's attorney maintains that his client discussed lumpectomy...
