BREAST CANCER TREATMENT
Different types of treatment are available for patients with breast cancer. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.

This October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, EMBRACE YOUR SISTERS!
BY SUZIE WELLS
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and charities across Western NY actively encourage women to get screened and be proactive about their health. Susan G. Komen, US’s largest breast cancer organization, estimates 2024 will see nearly 311,000 new (not including recurrent) cases of invasive breast cancer in the US, which means 134 out of every 100,000 women in this country will receive the new diagnosis. ankfully, increased and earlier screening as well as more effective treatments at earlier stages has reduced mortality due to breast cancer, but the cancer still affects so many of us.
e Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester hosts their ACTober 2024 at the Memorial Art Gallery on the 10th and hosts a variety of events and webinars to educate the community, such as at Batavia Downs’ recent Health Fair. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer hosts their walk at Innovative Field in Rochester on the 13th.
Genesee Cancer Assistance of Batavia has many opportunities to connect with the community in support for cancer survivors and their families, with a volleyball game this past week, the Save the Headlights run and raffle on the 5th, and in November they host Night at the Downs. Search online for breast cancer organizations near you, and you’ll find the vast community of agencies helping each other navigate tough diagnoses and move forward.
I was fortunate to interview Krista Jackson of Embrace Your Sisters, a local organization that has become a lifeline for individuals battling breast cancer across thirteen counties in Western NY. She explains that breast cancer not only takes a toll on physical health but also brings about a myriad of emotional and financial challenges for women and their families.
Embrace Your Sisters fills a crucial niche, offering short-term emergency financial assistance to residents of Allegany, Cayuga, Chemung, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tioga, Tompkins, Wayne, and Yates Counties. e impact of a breast cancer diagnosis is not limited to medical challenges alone; it o en brings about an overwhelming financial burden due to treatment costs and the inability to work. EYS helps alleviate such financial hardships, allowing patients and their families to focus on healing and recovery.
Emergency funds cover co-pays, medical bills, rent/mortgage payments, utilities, and other essential expenses, extending a helping hand towards practical needs, emotional well-being, and other vital services, creating a comprehensive safety net during their arduous battle.
At the heart of Embrace Your Sisters lies an extraordinary story of compassion and determination.
e organization was born out of the experience of its founder, Chrissann Philipson, who faced (and lost in 2016) her own breast cancer diagnosis. Recognizing the financial strain caused by treatment options not covered by insurance, the idea of helping others in similar predicaments ignited. What started as a modest chicken barbecue fundraiser has blossomed into a robust force for good, having raised and disbursed almost half a million dollars to hundreds of survivors. Philipson’s legacy lives on through the organization’s impactful work.
Krista Jackson, a breast cancer survivor of over a decade herself, says the organization is her way to pay it forward, offering support and strength to those navigating the challenges of breast cancer. As a 100% volunteer-driven organization, Jackson emphasizes that every donation directly translates into assistance for those who need it most, making each contribution a tangible step towards easing the burdens of survivors.
Embrace Your Sisters organizes two major fundraising events each year. September 29th was their 13th Annual Positively Pink Walk, and their annual Tea at Two fashion show fundraiser at Casa Larga Vineyard on the first Sunday each May, featuring survivors as models accompanied by their heartwarming stories, raises funds while celebrating the strength and resilience of those affected by breast cancer.
Embrace Your Sisters stands as a testament to the power of community, compassion, and collective action. In a world where breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women, the organization’s unwavering commitment to providing practical support and essential resources shines as a beacon of hope. Whether through financial aid, emotional assistance, or community events, EYS continues to extend its embrace to those fighting the battle against breast cancer, reminding them they are not alone in their journey.

STORIES
Prepare your home for a power outage (Family Features) Understanding the distinction between these options will help any family determine which is the better choice for their home.
• A portable generator is an immediate, but temporary, solution. A portable gas generator is less expensive than a standby unit and doesn’t require installation time. Its benefits have limits, as it can only power a few home appliances for a few hours before needing refueling.
• A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch provides a seamless and permanent backup power solution. It is professionally installed outside the home and can power more of your home’s appliances for long periods of time. Powered by natural gas or liquid propane, recent power management technology has allowed homes to still receive whole-house backup electricity, but with a smaller, more affordable generator than in years past.
With an emergency kit on hand and the right backup power source available, the frustration of weathering a storm can be greatly lessened.

MILLWORK CAN ADD APPEAL & A CLASSIC FEEL
Homeowners are discovering that architectural accents can go a long way toward improving both the look and value of their homes. When renovating a space, the term “millwork” may be mentioned by designers and contractors. While it might be a mystery to some, millwork can give rooms unique looks.
Millwork refers to items traditionally made from raw lumber in a sawmill. Examples of millwork include crown molding, base trims, door frames, window casings, chair rails, and paneling. Cabinets may also classify as millwork.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
TICKS ARE STILL OUT WELL INTO FALL
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Austin” was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. He’s responding very well to treatment with antibiotics. Still, I’m wracking my brain as to how he was exposed. I check him for ticks every time we go out hiking, and I’ve never found one. I avoid trails in the deep woods during the summer months, when there’s a lot of brush and ticks are out. What can I do to protect him from another tick bite? -- Zack in Asheville, North Carolina
DEAR ZACK: I’m glad to hear Austin is on the mend! Lyme disease in dogs can be very debilitating.
e most important tool in the tick-fighting arsenal is prevention. Use a flea and tick preventive treatment -- like a topical ointment or a chewable medication -- to arm your dog in advance of going outside. Oral treatments o en have the added advantage of heartworm medication to prevent this dangerous transmitted disease in dogs from fleas and mosquitoes.
Avoiding the deep woods in summer is one way to reduce the chance of acquiring a tick (or three, or four), but ticks can lurk right in your yard and around the neighborhood. Keep the lawn mowed and brush trimmed back, and remove any debris piles around your property. Vacuum carpets weekly and sweep and mop the floors regularly.
Check Austin every day for ticks, even on days that you don’t go out hiking. It’s not unheard of to miss a tick in a dog’s fur, before it’s latched on to the skin -- and you have a 48-hour window to locate and remove an attached tick before Lyme exposure occurs.
Finally, talk to the vet about whether a Lyme vaccine would be a good choice for your dog.

Ahiddenfireburnsperpetuallyupon the hearth of the world.... In autumn this great conflagration becomes especially manifest. Then the flame that is slowly and mysteriously consuming every green thing bursts into vivid radiance. Every blade of grass and every leaf in the woodlands is cast into the great oven of Nature; and the bright colours of their fading are literally the flames of their consuming. The golden harvest-fields are glowing in the heart of the furnace.... By this autumn fire God every year purges the floor of nature. All effete substances that have served their purposeintheoldformareburntup. Everywhere God makes sweet and clean the earth with fire.

3 strategies that can lower breast cancer risk
Breast cancer affects millions of individuals each year. e World Cancer Research Fund International reports that breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women across the globe, affecting roughly 2.3 million women each year.
Despite the global prevalence of breast cancer, various organizations report high five-year survival rates, particularly among women whose cancers are detected in the earliest stages of the disease. In fact, a 2023 study published in the journal BMJ found that the risk for dying from breast cancer in the five years a er an early-stage diagnosis fell to 5 percent in recent years, a notable improvement from the 14 percent risk of death that was reported in the 1990s.
Increased survival rates for breast cancer are welcome news for women and their families. e higher survival rates are a byproduct of the tireless efforts of cancer researchers, who have also discovered links between the disease and certain lifestyle factors. ough there's no way to eliminate one's risk for breast cancer entirely, the American Cancer Society notes certain variables are within women's control. With that in mind, women can consider these three strategies that can lead to improved overall health and might help women lower their risk for breast cancer as well.
1.
Reach and maintain a healthy weight. e benefits of maintaining a healthy weight include a lower risk for heart disease and stroke, and women should know that weight and breast cancer risk are linked as well. According to the ACS, increased body weight and weight gain as an adult are linked to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. at’s particularly so among post-menopausal women. A 2023 study published in the journal BMC Women’s Health found that the chances of developing breast cancer increase among post-menopausal women who are obese.
2.
Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise is one of the ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, so it makes sense that being physically active can reduce breast cancer risk. e National Cancer Institute reports that a 2016 meta-analysis of 38 cohort studies found that the most physically active women had between a 12 and 21 percent lower risk for breast cancer than women who were the least physically active. e NCI also notes that additional studies have found that women who become more physically active a er menopause also have a lower risk for breast cancer than those who do not.
3.
Limit or eliminate alcohol consumption. e ACS urges women who drink to consume no more than one alcoholic drink per day, noting that consumption of even small amounts of alcohol have been linked to an increased risk for breast cancer. Officials with the MD Anderson Cancer Center note that the link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk is low. However, the MDACC notes that alcohol can contribute to unwanted weight gain, thus increasing cancer risk. In addition, alcohol can increase levels of estrogen and other hormones associated with breast cancer.
It may be impossible to completely prevent breast cancer. However, women can embrace strategies that improve their overall health in ways that lower their risk for breast cancer.

HOW COMMUNITIES CAN RECOGNIZE NURSES
Celebrate holidays that honor nurses as a community. The American Nurses Association notes that National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6 and ends on May 12. Though National Nurses Week is not a federal holiday, communities can still come together during the week to highlight the work their local nurses do. Township or other local officials can encourage businesses in the community to offer special discounts to nurses during the week, while schools can take part in collective efforts to thank nurses. For example, students from all grades can work on a banner thanking nurses and then showcase the banner by the entryway to campus so passing motorists can see it.
FIXING A VERTICAL ROOT FRACTURE
A vertical root fracture is a type of cracked tooth where the crack begins at the root and extends upward toward the crown of the tooth. These tooth fractures can be easily overlooked because they don’t often cause symptoms and may not show up on an X-ray. They are more common in teeth that already have a compromised structure from a previous root canal or crown. The only symptom may be mild pain when biting down, until the crack causes an infection in the adjacent bone or gum tissue. The most common treatment for a vertical root fracture is extracting the tooth to save the surrounding tissue from a chronic infection that can compromise the ability to support an implant.
Maintaining a consistent schedule of regular dental checkups will give your dentist the opportunity of keeping an
eye on the state of your teeth and any possible areas of developing dental problems such as a tooth root fracture. When was your last dental visit? Now would be a good time to schedule your next exam. If you don’t have a family dentist, we are accepting new patients at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL. Located at 6 Batavia City Centre, we welcome your call at 585.343.4246. We accept most insurances.
P.S. Some vertical root fractures can be fixed with a special type of cement that bonds the tooth together to prevent further cracking.

ANSWER: Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer of the bone marrow. The cells in the bone marrow (called plasma cells) stop responding as they should and make large amounts of antibodies. Unfortunately, these antibodies don’t help you fight off infections; they consist of a single clone that usually doesn’t have any discernible activity. What myeloma does do is crowd out the rest of the cells in the bone marrow so that the person can’t make adequate red blood cells (causing pale skin and dizziness), blood-clotting cells (predisposing people to bleeding), and other immune system cells. This puts a person at a high risk for infection. The myeloma cells can get into the bone and cause bone pain. The high metabolic activity can also cause dizziness and sweating, and many cancers cause more nonspecific symptoms like fatigue, insomnia and constipation. Myeloma can also damage the kidney.
Although myeloma is generally considered incurable, new treatments have greatly improved the prognosis. In people with the standard type of myeloma, survival is eight years with the usual treatment. With a stem-cell transplant, survival with average-risk myeloma is over 12 years. Some highly aggressive forms of myeloma have a much worse survival rate.
Failure to budget: A budget is the most effective way for individuals to gain control of their spending. That lesson seems to resonate more with young people than older men and women. A 2019 poll from Debt.com found that 74 percent of consumers between the ages of 23 and 38 use a budget to govern their spending, while only 67 percent of consumers between the ages of 39 and 54 use a budget. A failure to budget can increase the risk of spending impulsively and make it hard for consumers to see what’s coming in and what’s going out. That’s a recipe for accumulating debt.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* Use a turkey baster to "squirt" pancake batter into your frying pan. Mix the batter as normal and unscrew the top of the baster to load. You can use it to make letters for fun kids' breakfasts. No drips!
* If you have trouble opening the lid on glass jars, try using a pair of standard dishwashing gloves. ey work to grip both the lid and the jar. ey work especially well if your hands are the least bit moist.

LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE AFTER 50
(NAPSI)—For many people, navigating life and love as they get older can be challenging. Adjusting to change, seeking a new partner, or simply breaking out of a rut may feel overwhelming. In the hilarious hit comedy “Book Club,” four mature women in different circumstances discover that you’re never too old to enjoy life or pursue love. That’s a message author and newspaper columnist Tom Blake agrees with wholeheartedly. Blake has written more than 4,000 articles and newsletters on the topic and offers this advice, which is reflected in the movie:
1. Give love a chance in later years: Put yourself out there; everyone deserves love.
2. Don’t worry about what others think: Do what’s right for you.
3. Loosen up: Don’t be too set in your ways.
4. Change your routine: Be open to new experiences.
5. Don’t let your children make decisions for you: No one knows you better than you.
6. Have fun: Don’t stop living before you stop living!
In “Book Club,” legendary actresses Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen star respectively as a widow, single, divorcée and long-married woman who hilariously shake up their lives by diving into the infamous book “Fifty Shades of Grey.” From discovering new romance to rekindling old flames, the lifelong friends inspire each other to make their next chapter the best chapter.
“’Book Club’ has wonderful messages about never giving up on life or love no matter how old you are,” said Blake. “Good things can happen when you venture out and meet new people.”
To liven up your life, check out “Book Club” on DVD, Blu-ray or iTunes and go to www.FindingLoveAfter50.com for more tips from Blake.

Balloons Blow
A big THANK YOU to the woman behind my husband and I in line last Saturday for the big craft event. We traveled quite far to attend and were told there was no admission fee and had not brought cash with us. Turns out there was a cash only admission fee and we were told we could enter the grounds to access an ATM and come back and pay. But before we could do so the woman behind us quietly and generously paid for both my husband and my admission as well as for her friend! We thanked her there but it really meant a lot to be given this kindness and wanted to thank her again. Hope she reads this!
I cringe watching another balloon release in memory of a family’s loved one on the news almost every week. Yes, losing a loved one is tragic but balloons don’t just disappear in the heavens, out of sight and out of mind. They come back down to earth, polluting land and water, killing wildlife and causing power outages. Don’t be ignorant; please use other environmentally safe alternatives: blow bubbles, release flowers or petals in water, plant a tree or native flowers, use pinwheels or other stationary decorations. City or Town laws should be put in place to prevent balloon releases.
Billionaires
Team Dominos
On 9/27, I went to a local pizza place with my grand-nephew. Upon entering, the busy staff exclaimed welcoming greetings. Due to time constraints, I had to exit without placing an order! Upon exiting, the team again exclaimed kind farewells. I actually was astounded and wanted to go back in again just to tell them how heartwarming their hospitality impressed me. It restored my faith that “customer care” is still thriving at this local shop. Love the pizza and the offers!!
I can’t understand why people can be proud of being a billionaire or why people admire them. It only proves how selfish they are. If you are a person who really cares about others, you can always find a charity that does good for the deserving, such as charities that help save the lives of children or organizations that find water so people can grow their own food and bathe. There are so many charities that do really good work and help make this planet a better place for all of us to live. You don’t usually accumulate even several million dollars if you truly do your best to share. I grew up in a family that didn’t have much money because my siblings were not the healthiest, but my parents always gave to others who were in need. The world would be a better place if people cared about others and less about accumulating a lot of things they really don’t need.

LEAVING A JOB GRACEFULLY
Speak with your manager first. It’s respectful for your immediate manager or supervisor to learn of your departure first. This gives him or her ample time to put a plan in place to fill your position. The more notice you can give, the more goodwill you’re building on your way out the door. Schedule a meeting for this purpose; do not make it an informal chat by the water cooler. Resist the urge to quit via email or text. Resigning requires face-toface communication. Present a concise letter of resignation as well. Don’t call out colleagues or air your grievances in the letter.
