We had no control over our coming into this world and we have none over when we leave it, but the time in between is up to us. The Good Lord put a lot on this earth for us. but He doesn't force us to enjoy it, if we are determined not to. What a mess we can make!" No man alive is so well acquainted with fear as Arthur Godfrey. His cancer operation of three years ago might have broken the spirit of many another man and cast a shadow over the rest of his days. Not with Godfrey. "It would have been easier if I'd known more about cancer— if I knew then what I know today," Godfrey says. "The fact is that there are now well over a million people in the United States who also once heard the diagnosis— cancer. And, after treatment, lived on to hear the doctor say: " 'Well, you've passed the five-year checkup. Guess we can both relax.' " Godfrey is referring to the "cure rate" which the experts use as a yardstick in determining complete recovery. A period of five years is regarded as a necessary time gap after a lung cancer operation to conclude that the patient is cured, if there is no recurrence of the disease in that time. However, statistics of the American Cancer Society show the "cure rate" is less than five percent. Moreover, some surgeons advise removal of the entire lung, rather than a part, as in Godfrey's case. But there's one happy statistic working for Arthur — his was a "left side" cancer, which, for reasons not yet fathomed by the medical profession, has a lower mortality rate than cancer of the right lung. "I hope to hear those words that I've passed my checkup two years from now," Godfery says. "The doctor tells me that so far there's no trace of cancer in me and that I'm in fine shape." Indeed, in better shape than he has been in years. By following his doctors' advice, Godfrey has gotten down to 176 pounds and expects to shed another six pounds so he'll tip the scales at a healthy 170. "When my time comes . . ." Godfrey's experience with cancer and his close call with death taught him a great deal about fear. "Everybody is afraid," he says. "That's human, to be afraid. What's important is how yon counter fear, how you control it and, finally, overcome it. "We all live with the fear that someday we're going to die and, when my time comes, I'm going to be so miserable. But I'm not going to ruin all the days between now and then worrying about it." Godfrey claims he acquired an "education" in the months after his surgery. "What I found out is hopeful in the extreme. I want to share this knowledge with the public, because it may help other people face the ordeal of cancer if they must — and escape it, if they can. Many thousands of lives could be saved if more people knew the facts about cancer cure and prevention. "First, what did the hospital teach me? It exposed me to the miracle of modern medicine. Surgery, followed by radiation, saved me. As I later learned, they now save 170,000 cancer patients a year. "Second, what did my reading on the subject and interviews teach me? Up until now, more than 1,700,000 people in the United States have been cured of cancer — these are men, women, and children. "And that's another thing I learned — cancer can strike at any age. It often hits hard at the young and defenseless. More children die of cancer than of any other disease." Living on borrowed time Over the years, Arthur Godfrey has accumulated tremendous wealth. He doesn't have to work but does, because he gets sheer satisfaction and pure fun from it. Godfrey claims he is a "practical realist," but he also maintains that he is an "outrageous dreamer." He might add that he also is an extravagant spender, but . . . "I don't go to Las Vegas and throw my money away," he says. "That's stupid. It's escape, like drinking is escape. I don't want to escape from life. I use my money to send kids to school, for medical research, for things people need to make life a little better. "You know, it's true, that corny bit about making somebody else happy and you'll make yourself happy, too." His money is poured at a fantastic rate into the Arthur Godfrey Foundation. The good this notable organization does is incalculable, but an example of its beneficence is the $70,000 airplane it presented to the late Dr. Tom Dooley for his medical missionary work in Laos . . . and the wing it built on the Loudoun County Hospital near Godfrey's home in Virginia. Despite all that has happened to him, despite the pain he suffers constantly, despite the gnawing consternation he is compelled to endure until the next two years are up and he is "out of the woods" — Godfrey can stand with head high, proudly, for his significant triumph. "I love my work. I love what's going on in this life. I want to be a better performer," he says. And you ask, "Hasn't Godfrey achieved the full and rich life without having to aim for any higher? Why doesn't he stop now?" Arthur Godfrey's insatiable appetite for this life will not let him rest on his laurels. "I've got to keep on going — or I'll die." That's Godfrey's credo. It's the tenet of a man who must live each hour, each day, each month in hope and prayer — and with forbearance for whatever the future might hold for him. That's the way it must be for Arthur Godfrey, living as he is on "borrowed time." — George Carpozi, Jr. "Arthur Godfrey Time" is heard on CBS Radio, Mon.-Fri., at 9:10 a.m. e.d.t.
