Bishop's Wife Spreads Word On Breast Cancer

Woman Detected Lump Early

POSTED: 2:31 p.m. EST January 5, 2004

Cancer can motivate people to change their lives.

A local pastor's wife was motivated by her breast cancer to use her position to spread the word about early detection, NewsChannel5's Alicia Booth reported.

Shirley Hilton, the wife of Bishop John Hilton, thanks a self-examination for being alive today because she caught the breast cancer early.

The Hiltons are hoping that 2004 will be their best year ever. In fact, they said a new church is a symbol of their faith.

"It was just a strange lump, and I knew it wasn't there before, so I immediately began to get scared," Hilton said.

She added, "but then I had such a profound belief in God, I figured I'd be okay."

The congregation has also changed because of Hilton's battle. She reminds women about the importance of breast self-examination.

"You're scared to, you don't want to find the lump, but I tell them if you find it in time, there's hope," she said once to her congregation.

Hilton was treated at University Hospitals. If you have any questions about breast cancer, you can call UH's hotline at the Ireland Cancer Center at (800) 641-2422.
