Jackie White in Branchville, N.J.


This Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011 photo shows Jackie White in Branchville, N.J. White, a breast cancer survivor and a DES daughter who lives in Centerburg, Ohio, north of Columbus, said she had a misshaped uterus and reproductive problems, and found a lump last year that turned out to be breast cancer. Tests showed 20 tumors in one breast, two pre-cancers in the other and spread to her lymph nodes. The drug that millions of pregnant women took decades ago to prevent miscarriage and complications has put their daughters at higher risk for breast cancer and other health problems that are showing up now, a new federal study finds.
