DID YOU KNOW?

study published in the journal

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.

Follow along all 4 weeks in October as we spread awareness about breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, recovery and life after breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

FAQ

What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?

• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer.

• Maintain a healthy weight. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain that weight.

• Be physically active.

• Breast-feed.

• Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Can diet prevent breast cancer from spreading?

Treatment for breast cancer is o en successful. For example, data from the American Society of Clinical Oncology indicates that the ve-year survival rate for women diagnosed with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer is 90 percent, while the average 10-year survival rate for such cancers is 84 percent. ose gures re ect advancements in treatment and the e ectiveness of campaigns designed to encourage women to receive routine breast cancer screenings as part of their preventive health care regimens.

Once doctors have diagnosed breast cancer, they will consider a host of factors as they try to determine a course of treatment.

Stage e National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. notes that treatment options depend on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Stage is usually expressed in a numerical value between 0 and IV, with 0 being the least severe form of the disease and IV being the most advanced (i.e., metastatic).

Tumor size and location e Cleveland Clinic notes that the size and location of the tumor also a ects how doctors will approach treatment. In general, the smaller the tumor, the easier it is to treat the disease. Where in the breast the tumor is located will also a ect the treatment plan. Doctors o en employ a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to treat breast cancer, and such an approach may be more likely to be employed if the tumor is large.

Pathology tests Pathology is the science of causes and e ects of diseases. When treating patients for breast cancer, doctors order pathology tests so they can better understand how the disease is a ecting their patients’ bodies. For example, the Cleveland Clinic notes that pathology tests like hormone receptor tests and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/neu) can indicate if

hormones or growth factors are helping the cancer grow. e results of these and other pathology tests can then help doctors determine an e ective course of treatment.

Personal characteristics Doctors will consider woman’s age, general health and family history when mapping a course of treatment. In addition, doctors discuss menopause with women when determining a course of treatment. Breastcancer. org notes that some breast cancer treatments can bring on menopause more abruptly than it would happen otherwise, so doctors will consider a woman’s history with menopause when determining treatment.

A hidden fire burns perpetually upon 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 purpose in the old form are burnt up. Everywhere God makes sweet and clean the earth with fire.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Solving a Litter Box Mystery

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m responding to your recent column about the kitten who won’t litter train. I’ve had kitties for over 50 years. e only time one of my kittens had trouble using the litter box, I made sure to watch him the next time he started sni ng around. It turned out that the sides of the litter box were too high! I replaced it with a litter box that had lower sides and it solved the problem. Love your column! -- Linda P., Williamson, New York

DEAR LINDA: ank you for the advice! Cats are experts at hiding their problems, and it can be di cult to see if a training issue is something to do with behavior, health problems or something else.

Your advice to observe the kitten closely, without interfering as it goes about its business, is perfect. If you’ve got time to follow a kitten around the house from a distance, that’s great. Of course, many of us are busy or have to leave the house for most of the day for work. One way to get around that is to use an indoor security camera -- one of the small cameras available for purchase online like a Blink or a SimpliSafe -- and point it at the litter box. You can observe activity around the box while you’re away (or in another room).

In this instance, the sides of the box were simply too high! A quick x got the kitten back on track.

Now, what if you observe something else, like the kitten showing distress just before it pees or poops? Or interference from another kitten or cat? Contact your veterinarian for advice, a checkup if needed, and an action plan to solve the litter box mystery.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

PREPARE NOW FOR ELECTION DAY

Elections decide the leadership that guides legislation and enforcement of regulations. The right to vote is something many people take for granted, but elsewhere in the world many people have no say with regard to their political leaders, which only emphasizes the importance of participating in the election process whenever you’re afforded the opportunity to do so.

The first step to prepare for Election Day is to confirm your eligibility. Age,legalresidencyandcitizenship status are just a few of the factors that may affect your eligibility to vote. County clerks, municipal offices as well as the Division of Motor Vehicles should have voter registration forms, and additional informationisavailableonline.

Voterregistrationmayhavetobefiled severalweeksto a month in advance of Election Day in order for you to be eligible. In the United States, when voter eligibility is in question at the time of an election,a person typically may cast a provisional vote, which will then be considered after other ballotsarecounted.

Onceyoureligibilityhasbeenverified, it is important to know the dates of key elections. Local newspapers often print schedules and this information can be found online as well. Various local and federal elections occur each year, and November is when national elections takeplaceintheUnitedStates.

Before voting, voters should research the respective candidates for each election. To better understand candidates’ platforms, visit their websites as well as those of nonpartisan political organizations, such as The League of Women Voters. Deciding who to vote for requires more than just siding with a particular political party. Read as much as you can on the candidates’ beliefs, concerns and voter history. This will help you make the best decision possible.

In the days leading up to Election Day, confirm your polling location and voting options. USA.gov advises that if you need special assistance, contact your local elections office for information, advice, and educational materials about voting equipment and details on access to the polling place, including designated parking.

BREAST CANCER SCREENING

Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.

Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done.

is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms.

a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests.

Case of Enlarged Pelvic Veins Is Not a Cause for Concern

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 71-year-old female with no children, but I did have an ectopic pregnancy at age 43. Other than that, I have had no “female” issues. I was getting a CT scan for my spleen area, when it was discovered that I had enlarged pelvic veins in my groin. I don’t have pelvic pain, nor do I have pain with sex. So, the only symptoms I do have, which may or may not be related, are bloating and some constipation.

I have seen a vascular surgeon and a urogynocologist to ask about this condition and if I need “treatment” for it. Both were rather vague, saying if I’m not experiencing pain, I should just get it imaged every year. Is that sound advice? Can the veins twist and cause blockage? Can they cause a blood clot? I can’t really get any info on it. -- J.F.

ANSWER: Although advanced imaging like CT and MRI scans have led physicians to be able to make more precise diagnoses than before, there is an issue of what to do with “incidental” findings. Many people have written to me about small tumors (which are far more common than we thought), but enlarged pelvic veins are another example of an incidental finding. Some women do have a condition called “pelvic congestion syndrome,” which is a cause of pelvic pain that is worsened by prolonged standing or sexual activity. This condition is found in women in the reproductive age group, especially those who have had multiple children, but is not found in menopausal women. Since you aren’t in the age group and don’t have symptoms, you clearly don’t have pelvic congestion syndrome. Dilated veins in the legs are simply called varicose veins, and they are often due to loss in function of the valves in our legs as we age. Pelvic vein enlargement is the same thing: Veins get bigger as we age. There are cases of blood clots in the pelvic veins, but it is not clear whether a person like you is at increased risk. I don’t see the need to repeat the imaging studies.

DENTAL TREATMENT PAIN RELIEF OPTIONS

People often avoid necessary dental care because of anxiety about pain during procedures. Luckily, modern dentistry has very effective pain relief options. Topical and injected local anesthetics are commonly used for routine dental procedures. Local anesthesia can also be delivered electronically using a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit, which sends electrical impulses to numb the treatment area. Nitrous oxide is another common and effective option that is easily administered through a rubber face mask. Local anesthetics, TENS anesthesia, and nitrous oxide all wear off quickly and allow the patient to drive home after a procedure. For advanced dental work, oral surgeries, or patients with extreme dental anxiety, intravenous or oral sedation and general anesthesia are all options. What’s been keeping you from visiting

the dentist? If it’s the fear of possible pain during dental treatment, we would like you to know we have calmedtheanxietiesof manypatients at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL over the years, with our relaxing atmosphere and friendly, compassionate staff. And because of the many advances in dentistry, the dental procedures we perform today are much less painful or even pain-free. We’ll work together at 6 Batavia City Centre to ensure your appointments with us are comfortable, productive, and rewarding. You can reach us at 585.343.4246.

HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE

Election Day occurs every November, and it’s the duty of all eligible United States citizens to exercise their right to vote. Doing so is the easiest way Americans can actively participate in government.

Participating in federal, state and local government can be done in many ways, but few are as easy and important as voting. The following are a few voting guidelines to consider as Election Day approaches.

ELIGIBILITY: Only United States citizens can vote in federal, state and local elections. In many states, voters must be 18 years old to vote. However, some states do afford 17-year-olds the right to vote. Voter eligibility may also depend on the voter’s residency. Each state has its own residency requirements.To learn the requirements in your state,visit the United States Election Assistance Commission at www.eac.gov.

REGISTRATION: Voters must register to vote before they can vote in an election. The National Mail Voter Registration Form is accepted in most states, and this form can be found at www.eac.gov. In addition to helping voters register,this form can be used to update one’s registration due to a change of name or make a change of address or register with a particular political party. North Dakota, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands do not accept the National Mail Voter Registration Form, while New Hampshire only accepts it as a request for an absentee voter mail-in registration form. Residents of these states or territories should consult their local state election office to learn how they can register to vote.

Voters may also be able to register to vote in person at various public facilities. This varies from state to state, but such facilities may include the nearest Department of Motor Vehicles office,the local election office, public assistance agencies, armed services recruitment centers or any public facility that has been designated as a voter registration agency by the state.

Some states allow voters to register to vote online. Contact your local state election office to learn if your state allows online voter registration. The state registration deadlines vary from state to state as well. Contact the state election office no less than 45days in advance of Election Day to learn the requirements in your state.

Conservation is an essential component of an

the planet’s natural resources can have a profound impact on the planet, and conserving at home is a great way for men and women to get the ball rolling on their conservation efforts.

One of the most effective ways to conserve at home is to reduce water consumption. Few people give much thought to how much water they consume at home, as water bills tend to be considerably lower than other utilities like energy and phone. But even if efforts to conserve water at home may not make a dramatic impact on monthly utility bills, many measures can go a long way toward preserving one of the planet’s most precious resources.

SENIOR NEWS

Workouts at the Rec Center

Two months ago the senior center commandeered a large space in the town’s rec center because we had vetoed the idea of exercise classes in a too-small space at the senior center.

It was a two-month test, warned the senior center, to see if we’d actually show up. ey even brought in a too-young male coach to put us through our paces. Although we were suspicious about his age, by the third week we agreed he knew his stu .

And he himself brought in an even younger female assistant who stayed at the front of the room demonstrating the exercises while the young male coach paced around the room, expression serious, studying us, stopping us in mid-move to instruct and praising where warranted.

Two weeks ago he brought in yet another assistant and broke us into two groups across the rec center oor. He labeled us “Easy” and “Not Easy,” saying that some of us needed to take things more slowly while others needed to put more e ort into the workout. Try as I might to get transferred to the Easy group, he was having none of it.

He worked hard on our behalf, badgering the rec center to open up the weight room so he could give out some hand weights. He coaxed the local sporting goods store into donating some stretchy bands and yoga mats. Last week he brought in a diet handout, foods to eat to build muscle.

We discovered just this week, however, that we’ve all been guinea pigs, that our too-young male coach was using us as his senior tness specialist project for college. Color us shocked! We weren’t sure how we felt about that until we learned that he’d earned an “A” on the project.

e other good news is that they’ve hired our too-young male coach and his two assistants on a permanent basis. And we get to stay at the rec center.

Batavia Surrounded By Ghostly Halloween Gossip

BY ELIJAH ROBINSON

It’s that season again. e time to get spooky and scary. Halloween is around the corner, and what better way to get in the spirit than to pay a visit to houses possessed by spirits and ghouls? Batavia has a few notable places where people can get their jeepers creepers for the year. Halloween, originally known as All Hollow’s Eve, came to the United States in the 1840s. It is a celebration where people dress in their favorite costumes, go door to door for candy, visit haunted houses, and share horror stories with each other. e haunted houses that are part of the tradition in Batavia have an infamous reputation of being authentic, fun, and horri c.

Haunted Bergen House

e Haunted Bergen House is one house that may be truly haunted. Legend has it that “the triangle shaped property today is haunted by a lady walking up the long driveway, a gure standing in the top of the barn, a gure standing outside looking into the house, disembodied voices, growls and shadows,” according to the owner of the Bergen house, Cathy Heglund, who believes that her Bergen home is truly haunted.

One peculiar occurrence happened here where Heglund came in close contact with what appeared to be a Native American spirit. is is one of many tales this house tells with its over 200-year history. It wouldn’t be Halloween without a trip to this “spirited” haunt.

Seymour Place

Another haunted building with a legacy of fright is the Seymour Place, now run by GoArt. Built in 1831, this place was originally a bank, west of the Genesee River. In 1887, the board members of the bank turned the place into a private men’s club. In 2002, GoArt acquired the building. is building is home to many spirits. One chilling example is a 6’ 2’’ man dressed in 1860s clothing who frequents the bar area. Rumor has it this spirit has been seen accompanied by the pungent smell of cigar smoke.

Executive director of GoArt, Gregory Hellock, has said there’s a history of happenings that occurred, stemming from its history as a men’s club

and a bank, and the history of the land the building was built on. “ ere’s rumors of it being part of the Underground Railroad, and there are di erent spirits from all of those happenings,” Hellock said.

Every Friday night since the beginning of the Halloween season, guests take hour-long tours to investigate the spirits which are said to possess the house.

West Main Street Cemetery - Batavia

Yet another “hotspot” for this ghoulish season is Batavia’s West Main Street Cemetery. is cemetery was plotted along the northern part of Tonawanda Creek in 1806. Among the bodies buried there were soldiers from the War of 1812. Tonawanda Creek would ood, making the cemetery inaccessible. In 1823, the cemetery was moved to a di erent location away from the water. All the bodies were exhumed and placed in new graves. However, it is believed that some bodies were le behind, and ghosts now haunt the area. Businesses have been built over this former cemetery, and there have been accounts of a woman dressed in gray seen along the north bank where the original cemetery was. It wouldn’t be uncommon to see beings and spirits walking among this cemetery’s tombstones.

RAVES

Thanks, Canandaigua!

The Canandaigua Rotary Club collects roadside debris along Routes 5 & 20. We seem to be collecting less each pick-up. Of equal importance are those measures taken by this area's homeowners and businesses in keeping their yards, drives, and parking lots free of debris, making for more visually healthy scenery. For your efforts and dedication, we thank each of you!

An Angel of Mercy

Many thanks to Lisa who came to my rescue on Friday. After sitting in the parking lot of a local school watching the sky and listening to the radio, I found my car battery dead when I went to return home. To top it off, my cellphone was dead, too! I am a senior in poor shape but managed to get home where I was able to contact a friend for help. She drove me back to my car. She will

Can you read?

Recently, it was the town festival. There were “No Parking” signs all over as well as “No Trespassing” signs. Rude people just parked any place and anywhere they wanted. Signs are up for a reason. You are lucky your vehicle wasn’t towed away at your risk. Wake up, people, and learn to read or maybe get an eye exam. Respect signs. Read before you park. It may save you hassle in the future. Does this mean you? You moved my cones from my driveway, went through my yard and my garden, and knocked my rhubarb patch to the ground. Use the road to go where you are going. We all need to use common sense these days.

So Rude

Why do people have to be so rude? One young guy at a [local business] was working with another young guy, putting things on the shelves. I needed gas. He came over, got right in my face and said, “What an [obscenity].” While I was driving (I was tired.), some guy yelled out, “What an old [obscenity]” Then, to top it off, I was visiting a therapist, and in the lobby, a stranger said (loudly and with lots of people around), “You’re worthless!” I felt even sadder. This is the new trend.

Handicap Parking for a Reason

To the person who ranted about handicap parking abuse: I agree that there is an element of abuse with the use of handicap parking permits. However, not all people who have a disability that qualifies for special parking are elderly. Just because someone is younger, it does not mean that they aren’t disabled. Plus, not all disabilities are visible to the naked eye. Someone may have a mobility issue that requires extra space to enter or exit their vehicle. A woman may be pregnant and having a difficult pregnancy, and under doctor’s orders, needs to limit walking long distances. As for the people wearing a nametag for work and parking in a handicap spot, people with disabilities often work a part-time job. You never know what a person is going through, and not all physical disabilities are visually obvious. So, don’t judge when you haven’t a clue about the person you are judging. Show some kindness and understanding, instead of assuming the worst about someone!

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

Halloween can be a spooky good time for children and adults alike, but the cost of costumes can be downright scary. When I was a child, my brother and I dressed as a pirate and a gypsy, respectively, for several years, as they were costumes that could be put together using things you might find around the house. This week, a focus on inexpensive or FREE Halloween costumes. Happy Halloween!

* Most anyone can come up with a ghost costume (basically, a white sheet with eyes cut out and cut off at the bottom so it’s not too long). How about dressing up that ghost with costume jewelry and makeup, or a mustache/beard drawn on, with a tie and carrying a briefcase labeled “Scare Corporation”? Use hats or other dress-up accessories to make Dr. Ghost or Officer Ghost. The possibilities are endless.

* A basic scarecrow needs only a flannel shirt, a pair of jeans and socks, a floppy hat and some straw. Stuff wadded-up plastic bags into shirt or pants to fill, then use rubber bands to secure straw at the cuffs. Paint on a funny face. (Thanks J.R. in Illinois.)

* Be an over-the-top tourist: A loud Hawaiian-style shirt paired with a pair of shorts, perhaps socks with sandals? Carry a camera on a strap around your neck. Use a small carryon bag as your treat bag, or decorate a paper sack by gluing on squares cut from a map.

* Be Static Cling! Use safety pins to pin a variety of small items to your outfit -- think socks, scarves, even a pair of undies if you dare! Tease hair until it’s standing straight up, and use hairspray to keep it that way.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT FALL

The colors of fall foliage are actually present year-round. Fall is known for its colorful foliage. But the pigments responsible for those colors are actually present year-round. According to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, green, yellow and orange pigments are present year-round. However, during spring and summer, the leaves serve as factories where many foods necessary to help the tree grow are manufactured. That process takes place in the leaf in cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaves their green color. This process ceases as hours of daylight decrease and temperatures drop. As a result, chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears and the vivid colors of fall foliage begin to appear.

BOOST ENERGY AT THE OFFICE

Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Failing to get adequate sleep can have an adverse impact on your career. According to the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School, failure to get enough sleep, even for just one night, can impair a person’s ability to function by affecting his or her ability to focus and access high-level cognitive functions. A panel of experts from sleep, anatomy and physiology, as well as pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology convened by the National Sleep Foundation in 2015 recommended adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Make a concerted effort to get more sleep if you’re falling short of those recommended guidelines.

ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE

Use your network. The notion that “it’s not what you know, but who you know” has some truth to it. Successful jobseekers continually expand their professional contacts. This is achieved by going to informational interviews, attending trade association meetings and reviewing trade publications.

Target people who work at the companies where you see yourself, so you can get the inside track about job openings.

THE ORIGINS OF OKTOBERFEST

Although Oktoberfest originated in Munich, Germany, Oktoberfest celebrations now take place all over the globe. They are a chance to enjoy the early autumn weather with music, food, entertainment and,of course,German beer.

Oktoberfest is a 16-day folk festival that begins at the end of September and runs through the first week of October. Roughly six million people travel to Germany each year to participate in the official Oktoberfest, while many others attend festivities closer to home. While many people are familiar with the foods, beverages and pageantry of Oktoberfest, they may not be so sure of Oktoberfest’s origins.

According to History.com, the first Oktoberfest took place on October 12, 1810, when Bavarian Crown Prince Louis, later to be known as King Louis I of Bavaria, married Princess Therese von SachsenHildburghausen. The citizens of Munich were invited, and the festivities were held on the fields in front of the city gates. Horse races took place and eventually concluded the festivities, both at the city gates and elsewhere across Bavaria. The festival and horse races were held once again the following year, giving rise to the tradition of Oktoberfest. To increase the potential for fun and take advantage of longer days, the event was expanded from one day to a few weeks,stretching through September and into October.

The tradition-rich horse race no longer takes place and hasn’t for more than 50years.But the festive atmosphere still prevails. Huge tents are erected to accommodate the large crowds. Since 1950, the traditional festival opening has been a twelve-gun salute and the tapping of the first keg of Oktoberfest beer at 12:00 by the Mayor of Munich with the cry “O’zapft is!” (“It’s tapped!”).

Millions of people participate in Oktoberfest celebrations. An abundance of food and millions of liters of beer are available to enhance the fun.
