Lamb, M.D., News America Set vice It pays to have moles checked DEAR DR. LAMB : Today is my bir­ thday! I am 48 years old and because of you, your daily column and a very fine doctor in my city, I will live to see many more birthdays. Thank you! I had been looking at a dark, growing mole on my thigh for several years. But because I never really thought about it, except at night when I took my bath, and because I am a single parent on a strict budget, I just kept putting off having it checked. Then one night I read your column about the dangers, the risk and other information. I cut out your column and stuck it in my purse to remind me to make an appointment with my doctor the next day. He removed four moles that he felt were dangerous. Three were OK, but the one on my thigh was a malignant melanoma. Tests were made to see if the cancer cells had spread to other parts of my body and a much larger section of skin was taken from my thigh. I'm too old for short shorts anyway. My doctor feels we have gotten it all now and I'm in the clear. I'm lucky! And I'm thankful. I waited much too long. That painless growing dark brown spot could have killed me. I thank you for playing a role in sav­ ing my life. And my children, who need their one and only parent, thank you. DEAR READER: I'm so glad you did something about your mole before it was too late. I have received other letters through the years from readers who were motivated to do something about a suspicious-looking mole after reading my column, and who also had a malignant melanoma. When the col­ umn does that for people it really makes my day. And perhaps your story will save other lives as well. I have discussed malignant melanomas in The Health Letter, Special Report 28, "Skin: Aging, Spots, Cancer and Sun," which I am sending to you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. Anyone who has a mole that shows (SET ITAL) and (END ITAL) changes should have their doctor check it. Change in color, size or Irregularity may be very important. Let your doc­ tor decide if it needs to be removed or not. You may be glad you did. DEAR DR. LAMB: My brother is a bodybuilder, a winner of many titles, a perfect specimen. His diet is perfect. He is total perfection. Only one thing, he was on steroids for four years. Two months ago he had very severe chest 4 pains after a workout. We rushed him to emergency. The doctor told him tale was having a heart attack. I told him he was nuts, my brother's heart fa made of iron. The X-rays showed two blocked arteries, and they performed angioplasty. He is now clean again. What wait wrong? Of course he has learned a bitter lesson and will never use steroids again. Why does the doctor call it an attack when he only had blocked arteries? How good is1 angioplasty? Does it real­ ly work? DEAR READER: Steroids do in­ crease the "bad cholesterol" (LDL- cholesterol) associated with an in­ crease in fatty-cholesterol deposits in the arteries. Your brother is lucky. Th£ term "heart attack" refers to the total episode of chest pain caused by th$ blockage. You can think of it an an at­ tack of pain. Angioplasty opens blocked arteries and is very useful. In some cases it has to be repeated. Incidentally, hlgh-fa£ high-cholesterol diets used by some bodybuilders can increase fatty- cholesterol blockage of arteries. * CROSSWORD BARBS THE TRXEIE WITH MDU IS MX) JUST DOW'T UNDERSTAND WOMEJJ 1 PLAV HARD-T0-6ET AND ^ M5UILWIW EVERY "TIME... / u ' OF C0UI3E SCUte GOT V FIUD OWE WHO WANTS SOU FIRST =Jfj y ^IvJgV ̂ i s DMDU THINK WELL,SHE DID SAY ...AN' WHO KNOWS?

B y J a m e s J a c o b y N e w s p a p e r E n t e r p r i s e A s s o c i a t i o n Beware foolish heart For experts, one exciting part of bridge occurs when there is an oppor­ tunity to deceive an adversary, to fool him into taking a losing line of play. Today's deal took place in the French International Trials of 1977. The young French star Dominique Pilon was the West player. Against four spades, three rounds of diamonds were led, declarer ruff­ ing with the spade nine on the third round. His plan, not necessarily well- conceived, was that should he be overruffed, he would be able to get to dummy in the trump suit to play the heart ace and then take a ruffing finesse against East's presumed heart king. (East had opened the bidding.) That thinking was not too bad, and note well that should the king of spades win the third trick, declarer's plan would work. The ace of spades would bring down the 10, dummy would be reached with the spade six, and the ruffing finesse would give declarer enough'discards to take care of his losing clubs. But along the way something strange happened. Pilon sluffed a heart when South ruffed with the spade nine. a • What was our poor declarer to think? Apparently East held the K-10 of spades. Relying on that assump­ tion, declarer played ace and a club, intending to ruff the third club and take a trump finesse. East won the second club and played another diamond, and now finally Pilon scored the trump king to set the hand.
