C4 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday October 30, 2002 Breast cancer declining in older women W0SS Class of '78 reunion (Continued from page C2) Today, breast cancer rates have declined by 25 per cent among women aged 50 to 69, and almost 14 per cent for all ages since 1985. While these statistics are encouraging, they're not much comfort in the face of a diagno sis. Porter, for example, is relieved to have fought and won, but knows there is a greater risk for her daughter, especially with her family his tory. Porter's mother had cancer twice, her sister also had breast cancer, her father had lung can cer and her brother had leukemia. When it comes to breast cancer, there is a higher risk as you get older and an even higher risk if there is a family history with a mother or sister diagnosed under 50. Canadian Cancer Society statistics show that breast can cer increases with age after menopause. At the age of 30, a woman's chances of getting breast cancer are one in 650. By the time a woman is 50, the risk increases to one in 110. "I advise my daughter who is 25, to eat a lot of green veg gies," said Porter. "Everyone knows how to be healthy, you just have to practice it. Willpower is very important. Be proactive - use all the resources out there. There is information at» the Cancer Society's Oakville office and on the Internet. "Don't sit back and feel sorry for yourself."
