Dear Ann Landers,
am writing about your column on breast can-cer in which you stated, "One out of eight women will get breast cancer." I believe these statistics are often used to distort opinions when pulled out of context. While some women may need to be frightened into get-ting regular checkups and mammograms, there are a great many others who don't appreciate the anxiety caused by incomplete data. Would you please print the following from the Women V Health Let-ter? It presents a more realistic picture. Thank you. -Longtime Reader in Keller, Texas
