Elaine was raised until the age of three in a small town in Pennsylvania, before her family moved to LaSalle, Michigan, just north of the Ohio border. She attended Monroe High School where she studied business. She later took courses in business in college.

Her marriage at a young age sadly ended in divorce, yet gave her four beautiful children. She worked in a factory until her children were grown, then left the factory to begin her own business.

She was again married, this time happily. Her husband joined her in her business until his death in 2005.

Elaine owned and operated Woodland Embroidery in Marion, Michigan. Today Elaine lives in Kentucky and owns and operates American Designs.

Elaine also spends much of her time listening to, and giving encouragement to, others who are going through the same kind of ordeal that she went through.

Diagnosed October, 1979: breast cancer.

I discovered a lump in my breast in the spring of l979. However I did not go to the doctor about it until October of that year. I was scheduled for surgery, and during the operation it was determined that the lump was malignant. A simple mastectomy was performed and 2 or 3 lymph nodes were also removed. The lab report showed that cancer cells were present in the lymph nodes.

After the surgery, I was treated with chemotherapy for six months and had a standard round of radiation treatments which lasted for three weeks — five times per week. During this time I also began to take Entelev® (later called Cancell®). When my round of chemotherapy was complete and after the radiation treatments, a bone scan showed spots on both my clavicle and rib cage. The target area for the radiation was very close to my throat, and I also developed difficulty in swallowing. The doctor felt I should have no more chemotherapy or radiation. However I continued to take Entelev® on a regular basis.

At the time of my next bone scan the suspicious areas on the bones had diminished considerably, and I continued to take Entelev® for some time longer. I was on no other form of treatment. My recollection is that I continued to take Entelev® until at least a year after the mastectomy. My swallowing problem disappeared and my health and blood tests continued to improve until the levels were in the normal ranges. A cancer specialist has monitored me regularly, and all tests have been normal.
