HOW TO DISCUSS A CANCER DIAGNOSIS WITH YOUR EMPLOYER

Be willing to accept help. It’s easy for cancer patients to feel like they’re suddenly seen as charity cases upon sharing their diagnosis with an employer and their colleagues. But offers to help come from a good place, and patients would likely offer to help if the shoe was on the other foot and a colleague revealed a cancer diagnosis. It’s alright to tell people willing to help that you’ll let them know if you need anything if and when a difficult situation arises. In the meantime, thank them for their kindness and prepare to lighten your professional load as treatment begins.

HOW TO SUPPORT LOVED ONES WHO HAVE BREAST CANCER

practical support. Cancer affects the body in a number of ways. Energy levels may wane and certain symptoms may arise. Side effects from treatments also can make it difficult to continue with daily tasks. So an offer to help with tasks associated with daily living, such as cooking meals, gardening, washing clothes, or cleaning up around the house, can be practical and much appreciated. Approach the individual and ask questions in pointed ways. Rather than, “What can I do to help?”, which may result in an answer of, “Nothing,” figure out a way to pitch in and then ask if that would be acceptable. This may be, “Would you like me to run to the supermarket for you today?”

PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER

Some women who have a high risk of breast cancer may choose to have a risk-reducing mastectomy (the removal of both breasts when there are no signs of cancer). The risk of breast cancer is much lower in these women and most feel less anxious about their risk of breast cancer. However, it is very important to have a cancer risk assessment and counseling about the different ways to prevent breast cancer before making this decision.

Did You Know? If you have psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition marked by red, flaky patches on the body, you also could be at risk for a certain type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, which causes stiffness, swelling and pain in and around the joints, affects up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis, says the National Psoriasis Foundation. While psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, it is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50. This type of arthritis can develop slowly or come on quickly and be severe. Just like psoriasis itself, psoriatic arthritis tends to go through periods of flare-up and remission. Typically, the skin condition precedes the joint disease in 85 percent of patients. Keep in mind that a severe case of psoriasis will not necessarly translate into a severe case of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis may be treated like other forms of arthritis. Doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, antirheumatic drugs, exercise, and complementary therapies.Those who have psoriasis and have begun to experience joint pain and stiffness should talk to a doctor about potential therapies.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer mainly occurs in middle-aged or older women.In fact,the median age at the time of a breast cancer diagnosis is 62.Though it’s possible for women far younger than 62 to be diagnosed with breast cancer, the ACS reports that only a very small number of women younger than 45 are diagnosed with the disease each year. Despite the average age of onset being over 60, breast cancer is highly treatable. The World Health Organization notes that breast cancer treatments routinely achieve survival probabilities of 90 percent or higher. However, those probabilities decline considerably in lower-income countries where access to screening and other medical services is limited. For example, the WHO notes that five-year survival rates for breast cancer routinely surpass 90 percent in high-income countries like the United States and Canada. However, those rates are as low as 40 percent in South Africa, where early detection of the disease is less likely than it is in wealthier nations.That disparity in survival rates underscores the need for greater resource allocation in lower-income countries, but also highlights the effectiveness of screening and other measures in high-income countries where women are taught to report any abnormalities with their breasts.

Do I Need a New Coat is Year?

With cold weather here, we’re all trying to nd ways to stay warm both indoors and when we go out. Are you set up for winter? is is the time to be sure.

Here is what I’ve done so far this year.

Slippers that you wear around the house: Have yours stretched out over the years? Is there any chance you could walk right out of them?

is might be the year you need to invest in new indoor footwear for safety. Slippers are jotted down on my own list because yes, I do need new ones, and I’m going for slippers with a solid bottom.

Indoor vest: I’ve had one for years that adds a layer of warmth when the house is a bit chilly when worn over a sweatshirt or a long sleeve wa e shirt. It’s still ne.

Gloves: I’ve discovered that my insulated gloves that have kept my hands warm for years now have worn through the seam on the thumb, creating a 1-inch hole and letting in very cold air. I discovered how that happened: It’s from holding the steering wheel in the car. I’ll be pulling out my needle and thread to make that repair.

Hat, scarf, boots: check.

Winter coat with hood: And this is where making a major purchase is i y. Do I need a new winter coat this year ... or not?

And the answer is no. ree winters into Covid, it’s still out there. Despite the new omicron booster, there are experts who say we’ll have another Covid surge this winter with rising cases and hospitalization numbers, mostly due to human behavior and dwindling interest in getting a booster.

So no ... once again, I don’t need a new winter coat. I still won’t be going out as much as I used to long ago.

Popular Naples Grape Festival Adds Even More to Love!

BY JODI CARUSO

The Naples Grape Festival is known all over New York State!

Folks come to sample Grape Pie, take in the autumn foliage, sample fresh grape juice, visit a winery, listen to a plethora of musicians, and shop for those unique arts & cra s found only at such festivals.

In late 2021 e Naples Grape & Arts Festival LLC conducted a survey to determine how to best maximize the guest experience of the thousands of visitors to the Naples Grape Festival. Along with helping shape the 2022 Festival, this survey also highlighted that local residents really were nostalgic for the long-ago events that many Neapolitans enjoyed in the earlier days of the Festival. With an enthusiasticteamofvolunteers,theNaplesGrapeFestivalCommunity Events were created and took place this past September, drawing on a rich past and o ering the most memorable hometown events!

e rst Naples Grape Festival was described as an agricultural fair dating back to 1874. Grapes were rst grown in Naples in 1848, and the rst wine cellar in Naples was established in 1854. In the 1940s, the Naples Grape Festival fell victim to World War II as did the area’s overall grape production. In 1961, the Naples Grape Festival (NGF) was reintroduced and operated by the Naples Historical Society, drawing nearly 5,000 people.

By 1964, the Naples Grape Festival drew crowds of 60,000 people including famous visitors such as Paul Harvey and Robert Kennedy. However, it was canceled in 1971 due to unruly crowds. In 1989, Bob and Bill Vierhile recreated the NGF and operated a two-day event featuring arts, cra s, music, and a grape pie contest. e Naples Grape Festival bene ted the Naples community by giving to two vital organizations: e Naples Historical Society and the Naples Rotary Club. In 2009, a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) was established, identifying e Naples Grape and Arts Festival to be owned solely by the Naples Rotary Club, which has been in force ever since.

e Naples Grape Festival 2022 was once again a celebration of the grape harvest and the rich history of the Naples Community. e focus was on bringing friends and families together. On Friday, September 16th the Naples Grape FestivalCommunityEventskickedo withaFireworksExtravaganza in the front yard of Hazlitt’s Winery. It was an amazing show with hundreds of spectators. On Saturday morning, the Naples Grape Festival Parade was hosted by the newly crowned King and Queen of the Grape Festival, Mike and Sherie Heins, who marched down Main St. with oats from local businesses. e Naples Central School

Marching Band, the mayor and town supervisor, cub scouts, the local re department and others participated in the parade, as well!

If a parade wasn’t enough, that evening Main Street shut down again for a Street Dance! e dance took place in the heart of the village with Rick Constantino opening up for the Stid Hill Stompers. Hundredsoffamiliesenjoyedmusicinthevillage,localfood,vendors, sidewalk chalk, dancing in the street, and just being together. On Sunday morning, the Community Events continued with a Home Winemaker’s Competition hosted by Engine 14, followed by a Chili Cook-O .

en to nish, the Community Events kicked o the rst annual “Boots & Blue Jeans” Grape Country Gala held at the Parish Hill Event Barn. e event was a Texas BBQ by none other than Naples Grove Boys BBQ and Catering. e Gala was a sold-out event and served as a fundraiser to help raise seed money for next year’s community events.

eentirevillageandtownenjoyedlivemusic,artsales,foodspecials, and, of course, Grape Pie all throughout the entire week! e focus of the 2022 Grape Festival was bringing friends and families together, and we did just that! Stay tuned for next year’s free community events in Naples, NY! For more information and to check out pictures and history please visit naplesgrapefest.org. e Naples Grape Festival

Praluent Injections Significantly Decrease LDL Level

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 66-year-old male who was diagnosed about 15 years ago with mild coronary artery disease, with some blockages in my peripheral arteries. I was taking the maximum recommended dosage of pravastatin to maintain a low cholesterol, but I experienced complete ruptures of both Achilles tendons. These incidences occurred five years apart, but after the second rupture, my doctor discontinued the pravastatin. I then started Praluent injections twice a month to control my cholesterol, which has been incredibly effective -- maybe even too effective -- and is the purpose of my writing to you. With Praluent injections, my LDL level is about 26, and my HDL is 100. When my primary doctor’s assistant recently called to inform me of my bloodwork results, she said she has never seen anyone with such a low LDL level -- and she sees a lot of bloodwork! My primary care doctor doesn’t like it that low, but two different cardiologists I have seen think that the lower it is, the better. What do you think? -- J.W.

ANSWER: The first issue is whether statins increase the risk of an Achilles tendon rupture, and I can’t answer that with certainty, because there is some evidence it does. (Some studies have reported anywhere from an 80% relative risk increase to triple the risk, but the risk is still very, very low. Even if they triple the risk, the risk would be only three people per 10,000.) The studies that have shown there is risk suggest that the risk is only in the first year of taking statins, but other studies have shown no risk at all from statins.

The second issue is your very low LDL level, and the data for LDL levels is firmly on the side of the cardiologists you spoke with. The lower the LDL, the lower the risk of heart disease, and levels under 30 are not at all unusual in a person taking alirocumab (Praluent) or the other drug in that class (called PCSK9 inhibitors), evolocumab (Repatha). Your doctor’s assistant will likely be seeing more people with LDL levels like yours. Do remember that a healthy, mostly plant-based diet and regular exercise still have benefits in people with LDL levels as low as yours -- and not just in heart disease, but in reducing cancer risk, too.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

October is Anti-Bullying Month

P

arents go to great lengths to protect their children.

Keeping a watchful eye is a great way to protect kids when they're around the house, but parents may need to look for more subtle signs to determine if their children are being mistreated when they leave home.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notes that roughly 20 percent of students between the ages of 12 and 18 experience bullying nationwide. Parents might once have written off bullying as part of growing up, but research has long since indicated that bullying can be very harmful to youngsters. The DHHS notes that research indicates that persistent bullying can lead to or exacerbate feelings of isolation, rejection, exclusion, and despair. Children who are persistently bullied also may experience new or worsening feelings of anxiety and depression.

Parents can play a vital role in preventing bullying. Much of that role involves parents educating themselves about bullying, including what it is and what it's not and what are some warning signs that a child is involved in bullying.

What is bullying?

The DHHS website Stopbullying.gov defines bullying as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power. Bullying behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time. The imbalance of power associated with bullying involves the children who bully using some semblance of power they have over the children they're bullying to harm or control those youngsters. Their power may be physical strength, access to embarrassing information or popularity.

What isn't bullying?

Various types of aggressive behavior have the potential to be harmful, but they do not fall under the umbrella of bullying. For example, Stopbullying.gov notes that children between the ages of three and five are learning how to coexist with one another, including how to share and cooperate. Children in these age groups may be aggressive if they don't get what they want, but their actions in such instances do not constitute bullying. More information about potentially harmful, non-bullying behaviors is available at Stopbullying.gov.

Educate Yourself and Your Children

What are some signs a child is being bullied?

The DHHS notes that not all children who are being bullied exhibit warning signs. In addition, some signs might be more subtle than others. But some potential indicators that a child is being bullied include:

• Unexplainable injuries

• Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry

• Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness

• Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. For example, children who are being bullied may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.

• Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares

• Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school

• Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations

• Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem

• Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide

What are some signs a child is bullying other children? Parents also should be on the lookout for signs their children are bullying other youngsters. Such signs include:

• Kids get into physical or verbal altercations

• Children have friends who bully others

• Increasingly aggressive behavior

• Frequent trips to the principal's office or to detention

• Kids have extra money or new belongings but cannot explain how they got the cash or items

• Kids blame others for their problems

• An unwillingness to accept responsibility for their actions

• Kids are competitive and worry about their reputation or popularity

Parents have a vital role to play in preventing bullying so all youngsters feel safe and sound inside and outside of school.

I love football. I'm all for supporting a team, the excitement, etc. However, when there's a very late game on a night when people have to work the next day and you're just getting back at 1am with a bus full of people on a quiet residential street, have some consideration about waking your neighbors up with beeping your horn and yelling just because your team won.

Please use your lights!

Do people know that when it’s raining and your headlights are not on, it’s difficult to see you! It’s the law: if wipers are being used, headlights are supposed to be on. It’s not that hard to flip a switch.

Thanks to the Good Samaritan!

Last Friday I was walking to my car in a suburban store parking lot. Unbeknownst to me, I was followed from the store by someone. I was warned of this by a kind young lady who noticed this person following me and pulled her van alongside me until I got in my car safely. Thank you for taking time from your busy day to help a stranger.

Sincere Thanks

My sincere thank you to the lovely couple who sat behind me at the Batavia Town and Country Restaurant early in September. I found when I went to pay for my dinner that it had been paid for by these nice people. What a wonderful surprise and gift! Thank you and blessings to you.

You'll never guess!

We live in a village home in and among many other homes on a well-traveled street. Occasionally, my wife and I have things we no longer use. These items are too good to simply discard, so we put them in front of our home with a painted, wooden sign stating "Free Stuff" attached to the nearby tree. We are happy that people find uses for these items. We are not happy when they also take our painted signs which are securely nailed or bungeed to the tree. Why would anyone do that? Maybe I'm too literal. Maybe I should keep it simple and discard this stuff. Otherwise, along with the signs, someday I'll hear a chainsaw cutting down the tree, as well. Wow, this country is in serious trouble.

Handicap Parking

The abuse of the handicap parking system is beyond the pale! The number of people pulling into a handicap spot, hopping out of their vehicle and fast walking into a building or then upstairs is wrong. Sometimes, that sort of person hops out of their car with a nametag on, showing they're working. Most of these people are not elderly. Then, an elderly person with a cane or someone who has difficulty walking must walk an extreme distance because there's no close handicap spot for them. It's selfish and greedy. These people know they don't need that spot. You know who you are.

On the whole I take it that middle age is a happier period than youth. In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air.

UNDERSTANDING LIFE INSURANCE

PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER

Aromataseinhibitors(anastrozole,letrozole)andinactivators(exemestane)

lower the risk of recurrence and of new breast cancers in women who have a history of breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors also decrease the risk of breast cancer in women with the following conditions:

• Postmenopausal women with a personal history of breast cancer.

• Women with no personal history of breast cancer who are 60 years and older, have a history of ductal carcinoma in situ with mastectomy, or have a high risk of breast cancer based on the Gail model tool (a tool used to estimate the risk of breast cancer).

In women with an increased risk of breast cancer, taking aromatase inhibitors decreases the amount of estrogen made by the body. Before menopause, estrogen is made by the ovaries and other tissues in a woman’s body, including the brain, fat tissue, and skin. After menopause, the ovaries stop making estrogen, but the other tissues do not. Aromatase inhibitors block the action of an enzyme called aromatase, which is used to make all of the body’s estrogen. Aromatase inactivators stop the enzyme from working.

Possible harms from taking aromatase inhibitors include muscle and joint pain, osteoporosis, hot flashes, and feeling very tired.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Candy, candy and more candy. Halloween is just around the corner, and some of us like to offer a non-candy alternative to our door-knocking ghouls and goblins. Here are three that I have been successful with: pencils, erasers and glow sticks/bracelets. -- JoAnn

* Post-Halloween sales are a great time to pick up imaginationstimulating accessories and outfits for the dress-up bin.

* “Young children often love the act of pumpkin carving, but apart from letting them scoop out the seeds (which is FUN), there’s not a safe way to let them help with the cutting. I recommend purchasing a small pumpkin for the little ones to decorate with markers or paint.” -- W.F. in South Carolina

* “Baby lotion is great to have around on Halloween, because it can be used to remove face paint. Masks can restrict children’s vision when trick-or-treating, so face paint is a better way to go. Use a washcloth and baby lotion to get that paint off quick.” -- A.V. in Oregon

* Choose a battery-powered candle for your carved jack-o’-lanterns. You can leave it on longer, even when you aren’t home. And it’s much safer than a true flame.

* “Give any costume that your kid wants to wear for Halloween the ‘dance test.’ Have him or her put on the costume and dance around. If the child is tripping over the hems or the accessories are cumbersome, a change is in order.” -- M. in Michigan

Fall Flea Season

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat Isaiah o en gets eas in the late spring through summer, but by September the eas are usually gone. is year, he still has eas, even as we get into the chillier October month. What can I do to drive the eas out? -- Maddy in Biddeford, Maine

DEAR MADDY: While ea activity tends to drop during the colder months, chillier weather isn’t a guarantee that they’ll go away. A number of factors could keep them around, conceivably, all year. ings like a constantly warm environment in which to live (your house) or a higher than usual ea population (this can vary from year to year).

To really get rid of Isaiah’s eas, you’ll need to treat him and tackle possible ea problems inside the house.

Treat Isaiah with a ea treatment, available at the pet store or from the vet. Perfumed soaps aren’t good alternatives; they can dry and irritate his skin.

Wash or replace Isaiah’s bedding, and wash any furniture upholstery, blankets or other items where he likes to lounge for long periods.

The tallest task with regard to fall yard work is collecting the leaves that fall to the ground. Some homeownersprefer to wait until all of the leaves have fallen before starting the collection process, while others handle the task in stages to make it more manageable. Regardless of your timing, skip the noisy gas- or electric-powered leaf blower in favor of a reliable rake.Raking not only collects the leaves but also helps men and women burn calories while ensuring they are not creating any noise or air pollution.

Treat the carpet with a ea preventative, available at the pet store or online. Put Isaiah into a safe room and sprinkle the treatment into the carpet as directed, then vacuum it up. e treatment will take care of any live eas or eggs hiding in the carpet.

If your cat spends time outdoors, consider making him an indoor cat. is will reduce the chance of him contracting eas outside and bringing them into the house.

The two major types are the four-toed and five-toed sloths.

Their closest relatives are anteaters and armadillos.

Sloths spend their lives in the mountains.

They munch on leaves and twigs.

Sloths can swim three times faster than they can walk on land.

Their ability to slow their heart rates to one-third its normal rate, gives them the ability to hold their breath for a whopping 40 minutes underwater.

Sloths are good pets.

They can live anywhere between 10 and 30 years!

It is hard for sloths to camouflage in the trees.

Although sloths have peaceful demeanors, wild sloths can be aggressive and bite very hard.

WAYS TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK

Write things down. A to-do list floating around in your head can become overwhelming. The physical task of writing things down and crossing items off the list one-by-one can help you sail through tasks effectively. If you’re a mobile person, jot the list down on the notes function of a smartphone or use a task app that syncs with calendar functions.

DID YOU KNOW?

A 2017 study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention found that about one-third of women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the United States live at least five years after diagnosis. Also known as stage IV breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer is the most advanced stage of the disease. Metastatic breast cancer refers to breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer also should know that improved treatments may further their chances of surviving a diagnosis, even a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. In fact, the American Cancer Society notes that survival rates are based on women who were diagnosed and treated at least five years earlier. In the time since those survival rates were documented, treatments could have advanced even further, potentially improving the five-year survival rates for metastatic breast cancer.

An estimated 154,794 Americans are currently living with metastatic breast cancer, which occurs when cancer in the breast spreads to other parts of the body, most often the lungs, liver, bones, and brain. One quarter of this number represents those whose metastatic disease was found at diagnosis, while three-quarters have experienced metastatic recurrence of early stage disease. Approximately 20% to 30% of people first diagnosed with early stage disease will later develop advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Compiled by the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester
