STELLALANDER-VRYBURG: Oktober is die maand van borskanker-bewustheid en dit is daarom belangrik om gereeld jou borste te ondersoek, ongeag jou geslag. 
Die gemiddelde leeftydrisiko vir borskanker onder SA vroue is een uit 29. Een uit elke agt vrou wat 85 jaar en ouer is sal in hulle leeftyd borskanker kry en word in 70% van die gevalle deur selfondersoek ontdek. Sannie Holtzhausen (92) van Vryburg is in Augustus 2002 met borskanker gediagnoseer. Sy was deur ‘n onkoloog, Dr Constant Nel van Bloemfontein behandel met bestraling en ses kursusse chemoterapie. Volgens Nel, het sy alles goed verdra en is sedertdien al amper 20 jaar in remissie. “Sy is ‘n voorbeeld van hoe kanker oorwin kan word,” sê Nel. Tannie Sannie, wat haar 92ste verjaarsdag eersdaags vier, vul gereeld blokraaisels in en boer nog met Bonsmaras. Sy het drie kinders, sewe kleinkinders en vier agterkleinkinders. Sy deel haar geheim van die lewe en glo dat mens fisies besig moet bly omdat dit goed vir die liggaam en siel is. “Drink baie water en vermy suiker want dit voed kanker,” sê Holtzhausen.
