But for Harry and Joan Petzinger, residents of Koontz Lake, it was the best Christmas ever. Joan thought that she would not see this Christmas due to the fact that she had malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer that often spreads to .other parts of the body. The cancer was discovered in March of 1981, at Mayo Clinic. Harrv also had a large malignant tumor and he underwent surgery but the tumor itself was inoperable. For two months he was at the hospital, in Rochester, Minnesota, where he underwent linear acceleration radiation treatment, which was successful. Joan underwent chemotherapy and she said that she would sooner die. but Harry, being an optimist, encouraged her and almost force fed her with raw eggs, cream and ovaltinc whipped in the blender. She lost all her hair and she felt that she was grotesque. Only Har-

ry was allowed to see her. They returned home and Harry was reading an article in a magazine about Mayo Clinic getting ready to start using interferon. He immediately got on the telephone and called the clinic in Rochester. Minn. This was in early July of 1982. Joan was admitted to the clinic on July 14 for her first injection of interferon, four million unites, in the left hip. From then until November 3, she was injected in each hip, alternating, for a total of 48 shots. Most of the shots were given at St. Catherine Hospital, East Chicago. Harry would drive to Mayo Clinic and pick up the icepacked interferon and drive it to East Chicago where Joan was injected. After her first injection she was released and she then had to report to Mayo August 12, and a miracle happened. Joan had no pain and the tumors were gone. After her last examination on November 4, her doctor at Mayo Clinic wrote to the doctor in East Chicago stating that the future looks hopeful for her but we must remain cautious. Joan expects to hear good news. They are to return to Mayo after the holidays and they wanted to have Christmas together, alone . . . to count their blessings.
