BANGOR, Maine — When Corinth resident Melissa Jones helped organize a team for the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure five years ago, she did so in honor of her mother, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer the prior year.Her mother, 71-year-old Linda Bean, also of Corinth, now is faring much better, Jones said in advance of Sunday's race and walk, the 20th held in Maine so far."She's doing good," Jones said."She's been cancer-free since her mastectomy," though her mother still experiences some side effects from a medication that many breast cancer patients take for five years after completing chemotherapy.
