“It’s the sweetest day,” Lesa Phillips Whitson, coowner of The Total Works SalonSpa off South Peters Road, said about Monday’s, Oct.7 Hands On event, presented by the salon and Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center. “You can see the happiness.”

This is the 11th year for the event, said Whitson, who co-owns the salon with Sonai Hylton, whose mother, Tavie Mynatt, died of breast cancer. For a $60 donation, a person could sponsor a breast cancer survivor, and that survivor would be treated to her choice of any two of the following services: facial, mini-massage, haircut, manicure, pedicure or manicure application.

Whitson said in addition to her staff, other individuals and businesses donated their time, food, beverages and entertainment for the event.

“We believe in giving back to the community,” Whitson said.

“Everyone at the Total Works Salon will pamper breast cancer survivors on their special day,” said Kelly Snider Baker, who founded Hands On in 2003 and daughter of Whitson. Baker added it was an opportunity for people to honor their family and friends who are touched by breast cancer.

“I met Kelly Baker 11 years ago,” said Marilyn Rowden, Kim Rowden’s mother. “That’s when she [Baker] began to donate the funds to Kim’s memorial fund. Kelly and her family have just meant the See HANDS ON on Page 5D

Survivor West Knoxville cancer survivor Lockwood appreciates life and gives back

■

TAMMY CHEEK tcheek@farragutpress.com

If you ask West Knoxville cancer survivor Dee Lockwood’s philosophy on an illness she recently overcame, this is what she would tell you.

“I think people cancer is a death penalty, but it’s a life penalty and it’s something you live with the rest of your life and you get a better one,” Lockwood said.

Lockwood, who owns Sweet Pea, a West Knoxville casual lifestyle and garden shop, was diagnosed with cervical cancer three years ago.

“I had gone from pre-cancer to stage one, and eventually it would go to stage three,” Lockwood said.

Now she surmises she is cancer-free.

“I went to the doctor this morning,” she said on Tuesday Oct. 1. She noted while she is still awaiting results, as far as she knows, she is good.

She said while many think cancer is the end, for her it was the beginning.

“I think maybe I needed that little jolt to realize how lucky I was, how much I had and how much I had to do,” Lockwood said. “I’m just really thankful I got to have that second chance because not everybody does.”

Her journey started after a biopsy in October 2000, which was followed by a CT scan and a hysterectomy.

Lockwood said she underwent six rounds of chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation and three internal radiations.

“It was a long road back, but you know what, people think cancer is the worst thing that can happen; it’s really not,” she said. “There are so many things worse than cancer.

“I think cancer has gifts that it gives you

if you choose to accept them,” she said.

“For me the gift was finding my place and realizing that what I was doing, was what I was supposed to be doing.”

Lockwood said she felt she should be providing a safe haven for people.

“I have so many customers who go through cancer and so many who have awful things that happen in their lives, and for just a few minutes they come in and escape all that,” Lockwood said.

“I think when you survive you owe it to other people, who come after you, to be there for them, to pave the way for them and show people it really is not the end of everything,” she said.

To help others diagnosed with cancer, she came up with Paint Your Pumpkin Pink for a Purpose. The money raised from that activity goes to the Cancer Support Community of East Tennessee.

“They just provide everything free for cancer patients, survivors and their families,” Lockwood said.

The Cancer Support Community provides education, counseling and therapeutic services. Additionally it provides art, cooking and children’s programs.

She noted the idea for Paint Your Pumpkin” came about when she was diagnosed.

“I was feeling really left out,” she recalled. “It was bad enough I had cancer but I had picked the uncool cancer [cervical cancer] so I wasn’t going to get to have a team or a pink T-shirt.

By fall the next year, Lockwood said she was feeling better and started to think about what she could do so she and others could feel included. She came up with Paint Your Pumpkin Pink.

Lockwood said she did not think her family really knew how sick she was.

To support women with cancer, Dee Lockwood of Sweet Pea came up with the idea of Paint Your Pumpkins Pink for a Cause, which benefits the Cancer Support Community of East Tennessee.

She said she thinks her husband, Steve Hicks, had it worse. He was trying to work full time, keep everyone together, dealing with insurance forms and bills; and when

and hope.”

Ashley’s surgeon, Dr. Caren Gallaher, said her former patient was “courageous and strong and spirited. … There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her.”

Before the event, Ann said that upon Ashley’s diagnosis, “She was actually pregnant with her second child [Olivia, 3].

“She spotted the lump herself, months before that, but her ob/gyn thought it was related to her pregnancy,” Ann added. “It got larger and more sore, so they decided to do a biopsy on it. That was right before Thanksgiving. Then promptly after Thanksgiving they induced her second child, who was born on Dec. 2.

“It is truly something you never, ever want to experience, but you just take it one day at a time and deal with it as best you can.”

However, “She certainly took her diag-

nosis and ran with it. So we figured if she could deal with her situation with such grace and faith and hope and love, that we certainly shouldn’t do anything less,” Ann said.

“The stunning diagnosis part, for us it was, [breast cancer] was nowhere in our family [history],” Ann added. “We have no evidence of breast cancer anywhere.”

Ann said her daughter learned the art of public speaking and public expression only after battling breast cancer. “She did not like to get up in front of people and talk,” Ann said. “But once she was diagnosed, God gave her this gift, and she inspired so many people in so many different places.”

Ashley also “wrote an essay and submitted it to Under Armour in Baltimore, and was selected to be one of their three models for the Power In Pink [promotion] in the year 2010,” Ann said.

Ashley’s public journal of her battle is chronicled at caringbridge.org

Ann Slagle carries her granddaughter, Olivia Roback, 3, during Third Annual American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5k walk beginning and ending at World’s Fair Park in downtown Knoxville Sunday afternoon, Oct. 6. The late Ashley Slagle Roback, Ann’s daughter and Olivia’s mom, a Farragut High School Class of 2000 graduate who finally lost her battle with cancer in February after more than three years, was recognized during a pre-walk ceremony for her spirit and courage.

That ceremony included Ann presenting the inaugural Ashley Slagle Roback Courage of the Heart Award to Janine Bateson representing Astec Pink. Several other Slagle family members, included daughter, Mimi Slagle Rust (pink shoes), were among several hundred breast cancer survivors and supporters on hand to walk and donate.

Researchers have predicted that global cancer rates could increase by as much as 75 percent by 2030. Researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the American Cancer Society have estimated that the number of people affected by cancer in some of the world's poorest countries could grow by as much as 90 percent. That estimation is based largely on the growing rate of current health initiatives in third world countries to save people from diseases such as malaria and AIDS. Those people now are expected to live longer, increasing their risk of developing cancer, a disease for which aging is considered a risk factor. Rising smoking rates in countries such as China also influenced the projections by researchers, though experts not affiliated with the study noted that making certain healthy lifestyle choices, including exercising, adhering to a healthy diet and choosing not to smoke, could reduce cancer rates in the future. The study, published in the journal Lancet Oncology in 2012, estimated that there will be more than 22 million new cases of cancer by 2030. By comparison, 2008 saw fewer than 13 million new cancer diagnoses.

Rick Terry for the Cure raises donations for Susan G. Komen

■

ROBBY O’DANIEL rodaniel@farragutpress.com

Coinciding with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Rick Terry for the Cure promotion began Oct. 1.

A $25 donation to Rick Terry for the Cure will net a Rick Terry Jewelry Designs complimentary gift bag and an entry into a drawing, said Paula Stafford, head of operations for Rick Terry Jewelry Designs.

“One hundred percent of all monies donated to Rick Terry for the Cure will go to Susan G. Komen,” she added.

The gift bag includes a compact mirror, a silver polish cloth, a free watch battery card, a freshwater pearl bracelet and a pair of pink and sterling silver cubic zirconia earrings.

The drawing, which will take place Oct. 31, is for three prizes: a grand prize, a second prize and a third prize.

The grand prize, valued at $676, will include a “Sara Blaine sterling silver pink topaz pendant with chain,” Stafford said, as well as a “Debbie Brooks Susan G. Komen designer purse.” The grand prize also includes two Celtic Thunder tickets at the Tennessee Theatre, a $50 Copper Cellar Card, stress relieving treatment from Douglas J. Aveda Institute and a pink scarf.

Valued at $257, the second prize has Salon Luxe hair color, a pink ribbon charm and sterling silver bracelet, a $50 Copper Cellar Card, six Gigi’s cupcakes and a pink scarf.

The third prize, with a total value of $151, includes a pink ribbon charm and sterling silver bracelet, a $50 Copper Cellar Card, a $10 gift certificate to The French Market and a pink scarf.

The number of entries in the drawing is set at a maximum of 200 total, she said.

“We’re only selling 200 bags,” Stafford said. “We’ve put a kind of limit on it, so that people would know they have a onein-200 chance to win the grand prize or second prize or third prize. And we’re already selling quite a few of them, so it’s a good value for what they get in the gift bag. Every penny of it is going to a good

cause, plus it puts their name in a drawing to win one of the three grand prizes.”

People can make more than one $25 donation. For example, a $50 donation would get two complimentary gift bags and two entries into the drawing.

Those interested can make a donation at any Rick Terry Jewelry Designs location, she said.

“We have three: One is in downtown Knoxville on Gay Street,” she said.

“Another location is in Farragut at Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike, at that intersection. And we also have a location in Lenoir City.”

The promotion will end “Oct. 31 or when the last bag is sold,” she added.

“At this rate, it doesn’t look like it’ll continue through Oct. 31,” she said.

“We also have this Sara Blaine pink topaz and sterling silver handmade bracelet,” she said. “It has over a $700 value, and at the Fox Den for the Cure event on Oct. 11, we are going to give that away.”

People who make a $25 donation to Rick Terry for the Cure at the Fox Den for a Cure event will receive the complimentary gift bag and entry into the main drawing for the grand prize, second prize and third prize, as well as an entry into the bracelet drawing that night, she said.

Only those who donate that evening will be entered into the drawing for the bracelet, she said.

“We also have a Facebook promotion, as well, to where people can go on Facebook, and there’s going to be an article on our Facebook page each week that they can tell something, a story or a brief explanation about someone who either took care of them while they were experiencing the trauma of breast cancer or somebody can tell a story about their survivor friend,” she said. “They’re going to pick the best story each week and give them a quartz and crystal pink bracelet in sterling silver that was made by Romina Designs.”

Someone can win on the Facebook page for Rick Terry Jewelry Designs each week through the month of October, she said.

“I think it’s wonderful,” said Carolyn Keck, one of the cancer survivors at Monday’s event. She has been a survivor for five years.

“I came last year, and it makes me feel so neat,” Keck added.

She confided her husband died in February, so she was feeling down.

“So when I got the card and phone call [about Hands On], I was just tickled to death,” she said. “It gave me something to look forward to.”

All proceeds from the event benefited Kim Rowden Breast Cancer Memorial Fund, a nonprofit fund providing free breast screenings to women who do not have insurance or financial resources, Whitson said.

Dorothy Smith with Smith Marketing, which helped get the word out, said the event aver-

ages about 65 to 75 women treated to Hands On, which averages about $4,500 raised, in addition to in-kind contributions and individual donations.

Marilyn Rowden said KCBC would screen 107 women on Oct. 17 using that fund.

Whitson said Kim Rowden was 25 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She died three years after the diagnosis.

Her physician, Dr. Kamilia Kozlowski with KCBC, started the fund in Rowden’s name in 1998, Marilyn Rowden said.

“Kim was a very giving girl,” her mother said. “She would have been humbled today to know that hundreds of women are screened for breast cancer using her memorial fund.”

For the Rowden family, breast cancer was genetic. Marilyn said she had lost four sisters to the disease and there are only two survivors out of 11 in her family who have had cancer.

For each $25.00 donation to Rick Terry For The Cure you will receive: Your name entered into a drawing for Grand Prize, Second Prize And Third Prize.

A complimentary gift bag from Rick Terry Jewelry Designs which includes a pair of sterling silver and pink cz earrings, a freshwater pearl bracelet, a card for a free watch battery, a silver polish cloth, and a compact mirror.

100% of your $25.00 donation will go to Susan G. Komen For The Cure.

DID YOU KNOW? In remission 7 years, Courtney ‘blessed’ ■

ALAN SLOAN asloan@farragutpress.com

While Eddie Courtney may indeed fit the stereotype of a big, tough football coach, he’s also a quite humbled one.

But more than anything else, this Farragut High School head coach and health/wellness/physical education teacher has a new appreciation for life after celebrating seven years in remission from stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer.

While emphasizing, “I’m doing fine, I had a clean check two months ago,” Courtney added, “The best thing is, I feel blessed every day. … Anybody that goes through something like that, it will change them. I’ve been able to go on with life. I really appreciate every day, I really do. When you think things are bad, you can always reflect back to then. It helps get you through things.”

“I think the biggest thing is your whole appreciation for life. And it helps you stay positive.”

As for networking, “It also connects you with other people going through cancer, or who have been through cancer. … It really is a support group,” Courtney said. “Sometimes letters and phone calls are all you need to do. … Occasionally I’ll get a birthday card from somebody or a hello card from somebody, or maybe an e-mail one day just to say ‘hi, how are things going?’

“It does give you an understanding of what others are going through.”

Diagnosed in spring of 2005, “My tumor was in the chest between the right lung and heart,” he said. “I think the biggest thing, I was diagnosed at early stage two. That was a blessing that it was not further along.”

Looking back, “I had my faith in God, and I had my family and had football. Those three things, with the help of a such good medical staff, really helped me,” Courtney added.

“I guess my message to men would be, and I’ve done this, is that men would have a complete physical done once a year. And that men would, if you just don’t feel right, that you do take it serious and just don’t pass it off and think it’ll be alright in a couple of days.”

As for ongoing fears, Courtney said, “There’s a couple of times when you go back for your routine check-up that you might find a lymph node that’s illuminated on the scan or something, and it certainly does. And then you find out that it hasn’t changed in size or hadn’t moved.

“You are always thinking about that. … Always being aware of anything that might change in your body,” he added. “If it’s something that you just don’t feel right about.”

Courtney, 60, said he watches his diet “a little more than I used to. I don’t eat as much sugar stuff as I used to, and I try not to eat as much food as I used to. And I try to exercise.”

Upon reaching the five-year mark of being cancer-free, Courtney’s every-three-month check-ups were reduced to every six months.

Although cervical cancer may garner the headlines and be the primary reason thousands of women visit their doctors each year for routine PAP tests, this cancer is not the most common cancer of the reproductive organs. Cancer of the uterus is more common than cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. The National Cancer Institute says that more than 47,000 women will be diagnosed with uterine cancer in the United States in 2012 alone. Most women diagnosed with uterine cancer will be over the age of 55. The majority of the cases of uterine cancer occur in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus, according to The Mayo Clinic.

Uterine cancer and endometrial cancer are terms that are often used interchangeably. This cancer may start with polyps or fibroids that grow inside the uterus. Because uterine cancer generally causes abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain and other symptoms, it can be diagnosed early when women visit their physician. If a woman is beyond childbearing age, surgically removing the uterus often eliminates all of the cancer and is an effective means of treatment.
