Controversial Drug Tried To Save Cancer-Stricken Leg ROCKFORD. 111. (UPD-Perky Diane Lindstrom is a nonnal high school coed in every respect but one. Her soft smile and shy eyes hide the painful knowledge that she suffers from a malignant bone cancer of the right thigh. She is staking her life on the controversial cancer drug Krebio zen. And one of the great battles of modern medicine, whether hre- biozen is effective in the fight against cancer, may hinge on the outcome of Diane s struggle to walk without pain. Only one month ago, the pretty 18-year-old girl faced a terrify ing decision, either have her leg amputated or run the risk of nev er living to see her 23rd birth day. She said she would rather die than have the leg amputated. Diane's family physician took X-rays when her leg began to ache last October. They revealed no abnormalities. In late January, Diane was still in pain. More X-rays were taken and the tumor was discovered, j "The doctor said tlie only an- j swer was amputation." Mrs. Vir- j ginia Lindstrom told Chicago s American columnist Jack Mabley. "He said the cancer was severe and the operation should be done immediately." Two days before the scheduled amputation, the daughter of a hospital worker visited the Lind stroms. "She told us about Krcbinzen." Mrs. Lindstrom said. "We hadn't even thought about it. Oh. we'd heard about it, the controversy and all. The woman said she had faith in what it could do against cancer." Mrs. Ljnditrom and her hus band, Milton went to Chicago to talk with Dr. Andrew Ivy about the drug. Ivy, an internationally known scientist and former vice presi dent in charge of the University of Illinois professional schools, has been this country's foremost proponent of Krebiozen. In Ivy s 10-year Battle 10 win acceptance of the drug, he lost his university post, the Chicago Medical Society moved to punish him for promoting a "secret rem edy," and representatives of or ganized medicine, including tne American Medical Association, de clared Krebiozen "worthless." A government evaluation of the drug is currently in a state of suspension. , Mrs. Lindstrom said that when her husband "asked our doctor about the drug, he threw up his hands." The Lindstroms decided to post pone the operation and find out more about Krebiozen. "We asked Diane," she said. "We told her what we thought. She had resigned herself fo the operation, but right away she wanted to try Krebiozen." The operation was canceled. PAGE 8 B HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Kails, Ore. Friday, March i, 1963 Diane came to Illinois Masonic Hospital at Chicago for Krebio zen treatments and the family doctor wrote the federal govern' ment asking that the drug be barred from public use until it has been fully tested.
