Breast Cancer : A Unique Non Wired Bra

First a look back: In October, many of us at the Coalition had the pleasure of attending the 3rd Annual Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Seminar right here in Rochester. This event was developed and produced by Physicians and Laypersons Educational Associates of Greater Rochester New York (PLEA of GRNY) an organization founded by mother and son physicians, Dr. Ruby Belton and Dr. Douglas Belton Jr. PLEA of GRNY represents a union of multidisciplinary breast cancer care physicians, other medical caregivers, and laypeople. This seminar offered us a chance to learn about emerging trends in breast cancer treatment, as well as receive updates about current treatments. The multidisciplinary approach meant that physicians specializing in diagnostic radiology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, plastic surgery and survivorship presented on topics about their specialty areas throughout the evening. It was a treat to have many of our well-known providers front and center at the dais or on the panel. We also heard from a lawyer who presented on the legal aspects of Governor Cuomo’s new

Over 240,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and it is estimated that 40,000 will not survive this terrible disease. Although these numbers seem daunting, believe it or not, breast cancer survival rates are actually on the incline. Many researchers and doctors believe this is due to the advances in treatment of cancers and in earlier detection which is the key in fighting almost any cancer; early detection. Women are taught to do monthly self-examinations to detect anything ‘out of the

Breast cancer is a disease in which most commonly occurs in all women no matter their size, shape, race, or ethnicity. About one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every year, a fatal disease if not discovered early. Early detection of breast cancer is key so that cancerous cells found in the breast do not spread through other parts of the body. On a positive note, however, significant advances have been made in areas of reconstruction after a mastectomy. Breast cancer, the second leading cause of death in women, motivates many women to undergo screening every year and medical advances in 3D screening evolve regularly; though no cure

Kendra Scott was an ordinary mom who was always a girly girl inside, she would even play in her aunt’s closet as a young child. However, her stepdad was diagnosed with cancer when Scott was a teenager and dropped out of school to spend time with him in the hospital. As she spent time in the hospital, she was exposed to several patients who underwent cancer treatment. It was then when Scott wanted to combine her love for fashion and her wish of helping those women who have lost their hair due to treatment. Scott then began to design specific hats for female cancer patients. In no time, Scott had already leased and opened her own hat store at only nineteen years old. Unfortunately, although Scott spent day and night working in the store, business was extremely slow.

Leslie greeted me at her door that day with the kind of warm embrace you offer a longtime friend. As soon as she led me into her living room, I noticed a large framed photo above her sofa: five pairs of shoes lined up beside a stream. It could have been the cover of my book. I pointed to it. “Sensible Shoes!” I said. She smiled and nodded, then told me the story behind the shoes.

She told me once that she had begun dressmaking in Poland at thirteen; as far back as I can remember, she was always making dresses for the local women. She had an innate sense of design, a quick eye for all the subtleties in the latest fashions, even when she despised them, and great boldness. For three or four dollars she would study the fashion magazines with a customer, go with the customer to the remnants store on Belmont Avenue to pick out the material, argue the owner down--all remnants stores, for some reason, were supposed to be shady, as if the owners dealt in stolen goods--and then for days would patiently fit and baste and sew and fit again. Our apartment was always full of women in their housedresses sitting around the kitchen table waiting for a fitting. My little bedroom next to the kitchen was the fitting room. The sewing machine, an old nut-brown Singer with golden scrolls painted along the black arm and engraved along the two tiers of little drawers massed with needles and thread on each side of the treadle, stood next to the window and the great coal-black stove which up to my last year in college was our main source of heat. By December the two outer bed-rooms were closed off, and used to chill bottles of milk and cream, cold borscht, and jellied calves ' feet.
