Editor,

Congratulations to the Tongan Breast Cancer Society for their work in making aware the women of Tonga the problem of breast cancer. Having lost my dear friend Benedicta Chapman, to the disease many years ago it is important to let women know of the wonderful advances in medical assistance, now available and the importance of early detection .

I am going through my second incidence in ten years, and have the fortunate treatment available to me in Australia. May you all continue the good work and support of the people of Tonga.
