Lunch For Life Special Edition 25th February 2008

LUNCH FOR LIFE 2008Welcome to this special edition of Totally in celebration of improved and early detectionof an all too common silent killer, breast cancer.

Along with Miss Sunita Shrotria, who is head of the breast unit, our aim is to provide thelocal population and those patients referred for expert treatment from around thecountry, to receive, at the Ashford and St Peters Breast Unit, high quality gold standardtreatment. We feel state of the-art-equipment should be available to allow the unit todeliver the treatment we all wish for in breast care.

This whole event is driven by the experience of two members of the committee, LornaPonti and Jacci Cleghorn who, with the help of supportive and generous friends, areactively campaigning for the improved services of breast awareness. As we all know,breast cancer kills more women under 50 than any other disease. These women aremothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters, daughters who have a lot of life to live and the targetis to lengthen the life of every special woman you know.

Both Lorna and Jacci are lucky that their cancer was discovered and treated; a hardjourney, but worthwhile. However, there are all too many who discover their cancer toolate because they are too frightened to go and get tested. These are the people wewant to reach with the aid of the new equipment.

The machines we are raising money to purchase for the unit will firstly identify anyproblem much earlier than currently possible and also have the added benefit of lesspain throughout the testing process. Anyone who has gone through the mammogramexperience will remember that it is none too comfortable and this fact alone puts offmore young women going to have the investigations carried out. We want everyone tofeel welcome and eager to be sure they are free from any trace of the disease, whichmeans reducing the pain of the procedure.

An important element of the diagnosis is nuclear medicine, which is a little knownspeciality in which a wide range of clinical conditions are investigated using tinyamounts of radioactive tracers administered to the patient. Nuclear medicine is acompletely different imaging process to X-rays, CT or MRI scanning, as it looks at howthe body functions rather than its structure and is a very sensitive technique.

Alongside the fund raising of the unit, we welcome the unquestionable role thatMacmillan Cancer Support provides to every sufferer and their families. Macmillan are asource of support, helping with all the things people affected by cancer want and need,and are a force for change – pushing for better cancer care both locally and nationally.

Thank you each and everyone who has attended our event or given support throughdonations, advertising in this publication, and raffle prizes. It goes without saying thatwithout you we would not be able to achieve our goal of a better awareness andtreatment of this awful disease.

The clue really is in the title here. Lunch for Life, founded by Lorna Pontifollowing her triumph over breast cancer, holds an annual lunch date to raisemoney for charity. The major beneficiaries are, not surprisingly, cancerrelated charities.

Lorna is aided by a committee that is every bit as committed to getting everyounce of joy from life as Lorna herself. This could by why the Lunch forLife is so well attended, and such good fun!
