No one knows why the disease strikes, or how to prevent it, Incidence rates are increasing about 1 percent a year, jumping from 84.7 women a year per 100,000 in 1980 to 104.9 in 1986.

Some of the increase is attributed to better screening programs. Mortality rates have remained "fairly stable" over the past 50 years. Fifty-five percent of the women who get breast cancer don't have any of the known risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, being childless, bearing a first child after age 30, or aged 50 or older. White women have a higher incidence rate, but black women die more often because of lower income they seek treatment later, and have less access to it, the cancer society said. Mammography screening is more available to affluent and middle- class women, who tend to find their breast cancer in earlier stages and thus have a greater chance of survival.

The U.S. government has budgeted more than $1.4 billion for AIDS research this fiscal year, some 15 times the amount allocated to study breast cancer. The National Cancer Institute's $1.7 billion budget earmarked $89 million to study ways to combat breast cancer. QGulf Continued From Page A1 between U.S. and Iraqi troops intensified over the weekend.

Iraqi troops, likely sizing up allied strength, engaged front-line troops in a series of skirmishes on Sunday. In northeastern Saudi Arabia this morning, the sun was fighting its way through clouds as Saudi Tornado fighter-bombers headed north to hit Iraqi targets. France said its Jaguar fighters conducted raids this morning in Iraq and Kuwait. Air transport traffic was heavy today too, with lumbering C-130 transports lugging supplies to forward units on the frontier. Initial reports from the U.S.

military about the mine explosions said both vessels remained under their own power after the blasts.

FEB. 16,1991 Cancer Continued From Page A1 immediately ordered a biopsy of her breast tissue and, although not technically breast cancer, a malignant tumor was removed in October. "The doctor has told me over and over that I'm in a fight for my life. I've had so many people say to me, 'It's hard to feel sorry for you because you look fine, you look But then I take my wig off and I think, 'Gee, you are "I don't want to know the statistics on survival, because I don't want to dread what tomorrow brings. I don't need to know the numbers to know they aren't very good.

I like to stick my head in the sand. I feel better that way The women share everything, the most wrenching of emotions, the most intimate bodily functions. They tell each other things they tell no one else. They hold back from their husbands and children to spare them, and save up their worst dreads and thoughts for the support group sessions. In a grotesque irony, Mrs.

Grain's mother in St. Louis was diagnosed with breast cancer on the same day as her daughter, and each had surgery at the same time. Through a grim quirk of fate, neither was able to help the other through recovery. That coincidence prompted Mrs. Grain's 16-year- old daughter Amy to plaintively ask, "Mom, am I going to get it too?" "I wasn't able to answer her," said Mrs.

Grain, choking back tears. "What do I do, force her to start getting mam- mograms as a teen-ager? When she's 20? What a burden to have to carry." One In Nine The women compare notes on medication, offer to drive B.J. to chemotherapy, plan a potluck dinner to bring their families together, congratulate themselves on the success of a recent breast cancer awareness program they helped organize. And there is humor, too. But somehow, it is always mixed up with loss.

Each has a tale about their own or friends' gel-like prosthesis: one woman lost hers while shopping in the grocery store, another slammed a file cabinet on her blouse and started to walk away, oblivious, as co-workers stared aghast at her "breast" trapped in the metal drawer. Mrs. Grain was stirring a big copper vat of fudge when hers slid out of her brassiere. Each recounting triggers peals of laughter and even more exaggerated stories. But all of the women, switching like quicksilver from laughter to tears, lamented the loss of a physical part of themselves.

Each said having breast cancer has changed them spiritually, taught them lough lessons about loyalty and love. "Fm making up new rules as I go along," said Mrs. Wehr. "I'm finally listening to my inner self and finding out what it is I really want to do with my life. Your priorities change and your friends change.

Some fall away, because you're a threat to them and their own mortality, or they don't know what to say so they just stay away. Others step forward and are there for you. And you start taking charge of your own life. Cancer has empowered each of us in one way or another." Coats Continued From Page A1 Bayh and Quayle. Coats' spokesman Curt Smith said the senator doesn't "contemplate raising less money" than in 1990.

Hill, however, said he hoped the race would not break any spending records, "There's too much money in the system already. It spoils the system," said Hill, who currently serves as parliamentarian of the Indiana House. Hill faces a possible primary challenge from Secretary of State Joseph H. Hogsett. Coats Was appointed in 1988 to fill the remaining two years of Quayle's term he was elected vice president.

Coats must run again in 1992 to win a six-year term. Campaign finance reports show that Coats raised more than $1.1 million or 27 percent from political action committees, most of which were corporations. Hill received $488,462 or 45 percent from PACs, most of which had ties to labor groups.
