“4 AVE CANCER'— Doctors Decide to Skip Surgery, Trust Fate To Atomic Treatment Patient Sees Patches of Green Light - AHer Radio-lodine Tracer Dose

Draft Boards

90 Units in State;

List Local Personnel

©. [Stricken by cancer, Henry Noble Hall, veteran newspaperman, heard the dreaded words pronounced by doctors at Memerial Hospital in New York: In this second article of a condensed: version of his book he describes the first step in two-year fight to Samat the disease with radioactive iodine, product of atomic energy.

By HENRY NOBLE HALL Ea ~.- THAT AFTERNOON when my wife came for her daily visit I told her they had found out what was the matter with me. I had a carcinoma of the thyroid which had spread to my pelvis. She took the bad news gamely. It really did not come as much of a shock to either of us. The mere fact that, I had been admitted to the Memorial Hospital made us suspect the truth. During his morning visit the next day, my doctor stopped to have a chat. He told me they might have . to remove the malignant growth from “my , throat by "surgery, as a first step. “However,” he said, “I anv putting your case before our consulting board and we will follow what - ever treatment they recommend. But you y may be sure oir. Hall that every angle of your case will be

to cut it out, it was all right with me. But I was delighted when the decision was handed down to give me a tracer dose of radio-iodine and, if it was absorbed satisfactorily, to rely on atomic ‘energy for the treatment. Once the decision had been reached, it took the hospital some days to get a tiny amount of radio-lodine. It is measured _by millicuries and microcuries, out of compliment to Mme. Curie who discovered radium. One thousand millicuries go to one gram, and 1000 microduries g0 to one millicurie. But, on

Aug. 9, while my leg was still under traction, the tracer dose was brought down to me by the hospital's physicist. It was carried by a young doctor in a tiny vial; held by pincers, that seem
