BY SUE MacDONALD
The Cincinnati Enquirer
National news correspondent Betty Rollin and two local experts on therapies will headline the Breast Cancer Alliance Fifth Annual Luncheon and Seminar on Oct. 2.
The annual event celebrates survivors of breast cancer, provides women with needed health information and honors local women who have made a difference in women's lives as breast cancer advocates.
Among this year's highlights:
• Betty Rollin, who who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1974 while working as a reporter covering the White House, will deliver the keynote speech. Initially told her breast lump was “nothing to worry about,” she has since become a vocal advocate for women and is credited with breaking the national silence surrounding breast cancer and fostering an air of open discussion among women, doctors and families.
• Enquirer columnist Laura Pulfer, a breast cancer survivor, will receive the Linda Heines Award of Inspiration for her advocacy of breast cancer issues and treatment.
• Nurse Rita Sauer, who works for Cincinnati breast surgeon Dr. Donna Stahl, will receive the Award of Hope for her “Breast Cancer Angels” fund-raising project.
A morning seminar, “Medicine 2000, Integrating Complementary Therapies, features several local speakers. Among them:
• Dr. James B. LaValle, a University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy professor and national expert in herbs, supplements and nutrition, who will discuss “Strengthening Your Immunity Through the Latest in Herbal and Nutritional Products.”
• Dr. Steven Amoils, medical director of the Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine and 20-year practitioner of alternative health therapies, who will discuss “In Search of "Miracle Cures'.”
• Nurse Deborah Rauh, clinical director of the Tri-State Lymphedema Clinic, who will discuss “Lymphedema: Prevention and Treatment to Help Maintain Quality of Life.”
The seminar begins at 9:15 a.m.; lunch is at 12:15 p.m., all at the Omni Netherland Plaza Hotel, 35 W. Fifth St., downtown. Tickets are $18 by calling 232-2511.
