Treatment during childhood causing new cancers for some survivors.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
PHILADELPHIA _ Barbara Lee was 15 the first time she was diagnosed with cancer.
She had been sitting in class one day when a friend noticed a bulge in her upper left arm. It turned out to be a type of bone tumor called Ewing's sarcoma.
The cancer can be a tough one to beat, but Lee was lucky and fared well with a regimen of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. By 17, the ordeal was behind her and she was on with life _ college, a nursing career, marriage, a baby.
Lee was 37 the second time she was diagnosed with cancer. This time it was breast cancer.
"I'm more scared this time around because the stakes are higher: Now I'm 37 and a mother and a wife," recalled Lee, 41, who grew up in Wilmington, Del., and now lives in Montclair, Va.
As it happened, the radiation treatment that Lee got the first time around probably led to her second cancer.
One of medicine's biggest success stories has been the conquering of many childhood cancers. More than 250,000 children, teens and adults in the United States have survived cancer, and today nearly 75 percent of children can expect to beat their disease, up from 25 percent 30 years ago.
