I wonder. though, if there is much training on the part of the mentor when it comes to managing your feeling:s about vour student and the relationship you might develop. It seems )OU are a bit confused as to what your role should be. or as to ''here this v. hole 'enture is going. I am sure )OU "ill \\ant to keep m mmd that the "ork you are domg is meant to be t r the benefit of the child, and th t n) thmg ) ou do f>hould be aimed at making her o,chool experience more succe sful and enjoyable. If she has l'>OCial needs and selfeem problems. you can p m a general way by tts!'>l'iting her \\ tth ~trategies • to be more successful and ga'<mg her encouragement.

I amagine. because she has her own family - don't try to take it~ place. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: My son is ,turning into a couch potato. He doesn't like to do an) thing that involves exercbe or sports. The reason for this. hl' tells me. is that he 1 had a bad experience at 1 school when the kilb were outside m recess. The boys , his ngc (g) were pid.ing out team:- for some little playground gan\e. and he was the la~t one chosen. Now he docsn 't even want to pa.ticipate in any games or sports. I didn't know he was so sensitive. What can I say·! - U.T. Dear B.T.: It is too bad that your child had to experience the age-old problem of being picked last. It is always a hllltful experience for a child, and one that certain kids take a long time to get over especially if it doesn't relate only to theu· lack of phy'>ical 1 prowess but t~lso to their g~neral IX)pulanty. Some ktds will laugh it off, but it is not so unusual for others to be turned off to excrci'>e and sports in general after associating the~c things "ith a had ~ocial experience. In fact. many schools have put .a '>lop to games and sport~ in which kids can find them:..clves chosen Jaq,left out. targeted for elimination and other fotmer ly taken-for-granted fonns of competition. But childhood ~ames "ill always be played I mformally. meaning anything goes, unless a teacher or other adult intervenes to a:-.stgn teams and otherwise make things run fair!). I hope )OU encourage your son to find something physt cal that he does like to do and pursue 1t until he can feel he ha...:; .:;orne expertt~ and mas tery of the basics. Thts should help him with his confidence. popularity. fitness and menta1 toughness. He might be perfectly suited to an intll\ idual SJ?Ort at v. hich he can ch<X?sc h1s O\\ n pace and practtce until he becomes skilled and confident. The attitude of mental toughness is not eas} to insttll - yet it ic;; something you can help him build. Anything you can do to encourage him to persevere "ill he a big plus.

"They've had enough of this yearlong effort to get a win for the Democratic Party at any price to the people,'' American McConnell said on the Senate tloor. At its core. Obama's proposal would I!Xtend health care to tens of millions of unmsured Americans while cracking down on insurance company pract1ces such as denying coverage on the basis of a pre-existing medical condition. With hil> remarks. delivered at the White Ilou<..e. Obama took the' lead in a bid by congressional Democrats to mount a party-line rescue mission for the health care legislation that appeared on the cusp of passage late last year. only to be derailed when Republicans won a Massachusetb Senate seat that gave them the ability to block it. Obama ·s remarks were replete with criticism of the insurance industry as well as dismissive aside.., about GOP critics. Insurers are "continuin!! to raise premiums and deny coverage. for us to start over now could simply lead to deJa\ •that could last for another decade or more." he said. As for caJis for additioool debate, he said that in the vear since he inauRurated his campaign for health care changes. "every idea has been put on the table. Every argument has been made.'' "Everything there is to say about health care ha'> be.cn l>ald, and JUst about everyone has said it," Obama said as murmurs of laughter swept through his receptive audience of invited guests in the White Hou~e East Room. The president's appearance appeared pan of an endgame strategy put in motion last week, when Obama presided over a bipartisan summit meeting with leaders of both parties and both hou ...es. After seven hours of discussion. he said he had heard ideas for changes from sides. and he signaled that the time mav have come for Deinocrab to proceed on their own if GOP critics \\ere not ready to join them. While his spokesmen and Democratic congre~sional leaders joined in calls for an up-or-down vote - a simple majority. no filibusters allo\\ ed the White Hou~e announced with fanfare on he was asking lawmakers to incorporate four GOP ~uggestions. Obama said he was explonng GOP proposals for cracking down on fraudulent medical char.' revamping •ways to res malpractice disputes, boo ing doctors' Medicaid reimbursements and offering tax incentives to curb unnecessary patient vis1ts to doctors. The 1deas included an experiment that would establish special courts in which judge::. with medical expertise would decide malpractice allegation~. The idea has been criticized bv the Center for Justice '& Democracy, a consumer group that prefers the currCJlt sy..,tem of awarding damages. It said health courts would be ..anti-patient." In a ... pecch that reprised many of the points he has made in the past year. Obama cast the battle over health care as something more. ..At stake right now is not ju::.t our ability to ~olve this problem, but our abilit~ solve any problem. American people want know it 1s still possible for Washington to look out for their interests and their future. They are waiting for us to act.'' "The\ are waitin!! for us to leaci. And as lo~ng as I hold thi::. office. I intend to provide that leadership." Immediately after Obama finished speaking, the White House made good on his promi!:>c to '·do everything in my power to make the case for refom1.'' saying he would travel to Penns\ h ania on Monday and tl) ~i::.~ouri next Wednesday to press the issue. Cancer society casts more doubt on prostate tests BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS 1 1 1 ATLAi':TA ~1onths after experts discounted the importance of routme mamrnograms and Pap smears for many women, the Amelican Cancer Soc1ety is \\arrting more explicitly than ever that regular testing for prostate cancer is of que..,twnable value too. and can do men more harm than g<Xxi. The cancer societv has not recommended routine screenmg for most men since the mid-1990s, and that is not ~hanging. But the organization is urging doctors to talk frankly with the1r patients about the risks and limitations of the PSA blood test when offering it. Two big ~tudies last year suggested prostate cancer screening doe.::.n 't necessarily save lives, and any benefits can come at a high price. The widely used PSA test often spots cancers too slowgrowing to be deadly. It can yield false-po ...itivc readings that result in unnecessary biopsies. And it can lead to treatments that can cause unp0tence and incontinence. "We had a revolution" when PSA tests became available and pro:-.tatc cancer screenings kicked into high gear. said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the cancer society's deputy chief medical officer. ··Now we're having an evolution. We're learning more about what PSA really tells us." He added: "We don't know that it trulv saves live:-. the way people want 11 to save lives." Some doctors and advocates are troubled bv the new guidelines. "Prostate cancer is ::.till something to be respected if not feared. and we still need to be vigilant. I hope primary care docs or insurance companies don't use the 'softening' of the guidelines as an excuse to not do screening at all,'' said Dr. David Roberts, medical director of an Atlanta clinic that caters to businessmen. Dr. Stephen Freedland. an associate professor of urology at Duke University Medical Center. warned that the niedical establishment seems to be moving backward on cancer screening. "We have seen dramatic drop!'. in mortality from breast. prostate and cen ical at a time when screening ha::. been increasing, and now we nrc stepping off the pedal I don't think that is the right an<,wer." he sa1d. Men wtll need to \\ e1gh their fear of havmg a potentially aggressi'c cancer versus treatment that can cause ugly side effects. Another option if cancer is found i::. watchful waiting - that is. doing nothing - but that can n1ean high anxiety. The ca11cer ~ociety\ new guidanc~ released Wednesday urges doctors to: • Discuss the pros and cons of testin!! wilh palients, offering~ written information or videos that discuss the likelihood of false test results and the side ctl'ects of treatment. • Stop routinely gh ing the rectal exam because it has not clearlv shown a benefit, though it can remain an option. • Use past PSA readings to determine how often follow-up tests arc needed and to guide conversations about treatment. Cancer experts have been having second thoughts in recent years about the value of regular screening to detect certain types of cancer in its early stages. Last year. a government task force said most women don'l need mammograms in their 40s. and a doctors group said most women in their 20s don't need annual Pap tests. The new advice on prostate cancer runs counter to what men have been told on TV and other public service campaigns for several years. Prostate cancer screening became a medical mantra in the 1990s, thanks to the development of the PSA test. Some celebrities became advocates for regular testing. including former Ncv.1 York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. who credited a PSA test during a routine exam with helping him beat pro~tatc cancer a decade ago. Actor Brad Garrett from "Everybody Lm es Raymond'' had an onthe-air digital rectal c.xam for a TV special. For American men, prostate l'ancer is the second-deadliest cancer after lung cancer. An e::.timated 192,000 ne\\ Ccl ~" 27,000 deaths from It occurred last year in the United States. But 1t is often a lmJ. v. ing cancer. and depen on a man's age. he may e more likely to d1e of something el e. Another problem '' ith the PSA te:-.t is that an elevated or fa..,t-rising PSA reading can indicate the presence of cancer. but can abo be caused by something minor. such as an infection or an enlarged prostate. A biopsy is needed to confirm cancer. and that can cause unnece~­ sary pain and fear. The new recommendations could be "game changers" in two respects. s<.ud Dr. John D;n is. a urologist \\ho directs proMate cancer ::.creening for the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Cemer in Houston. First. it may mean many doctors will stop routinely giving the PSA test during regular physicals and \\ill discuss it \Vith their patients first. he said. About 41 percent of men 50 and older get annual prostate cancer screenings. he said. Second. the guidelines could have a chilling effect on community screening clinics in which hundreds of men line up and get free. quick exams. Davis said. That was the intent. said Dr. Andrew Wolf. a Uni\ersity of Virginia physician who led the group that wrote the new guidelines. "Yes, the guideline was explicitly crafted to put a damper on those community prostate screening activities that do not offer men the opportunity to make an informed decision whether to screen." Wolf said. Last year. the American Urological Association - a longtin1c proponent of regular prostate screening backed off its call for annual tests after age 50. The group said men should be offered a baseline test at 40. with follow-ups based on each man's situation. The group also has stood by the rectal exam as a standard part of screening, sa)mg it can lind cancer that the blood test does not. The cancer society last issued guideline~ in 200 I. which said merely that doctors should offer screening 1 ... u s the risks and benefits The new guidelines back awav even more, dr pptng the ~entence that tors should offer tate ~crcening. 1 'itead. the societv said that some evidence indicates periodic screening can save ltves but that there is uncertainty about the value of finding prostate cancer early. Screening should not take place unless the patient is fully informed of the trade-otis. the society said. Men at a\ erage risk should get detailed information around age 50, the -..ociety said. Men~ at higher risk. including blacks and men with a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65. should get the information beginning at 45. :Men \\ ith ~more ~than one close relative with prostate cancer before 65 should get such infom1ation at 40. For men who want to 'be screened regularly. the new guidelines recommend evef)· other year if the PSA reading is less than 2.5. a measure of prostate specific antigen. Annual tests are recommended for 2.5 or higher, and a 4 suggest" consideration of a biopsy. Early prostate cancer ha ... no symptoms. Advanced di~ease rna' interfere ., urination or cause bloo the urine. Many men with slow-growing cancers ha\ e been ~ succe~sfully treated after symptoms appear. There are few good treatments for very- ad' anced cases. though researchers reported Wednesday that an experimental drug exwnded survival by 10 \\eeks. They \\ere hopeful that the drug, cabazitaxel. might be more effective in stopping earlier cancers. The societY's new guidelines rankle Skip LockV.·ood. president and CEO of Zero - The Project to End Pro::.tate Cancer. fom1erl) known a~ the ~ational Prostate Cancer Coalition.
