October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Senator Farley notes October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and encourages women to consult with their health care providers to learn more about the disease, discuss their concerns, and develop an appropriate plan for breast cancer screening -- because early detection can save lives. If someone has a concern about breast cancer, the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program provides a service to help find answers. For the most current and useful information and resources, visit their website at www.breast-cancer.adelphi.edu or call their toll-free number at 1-800-877-8077. Ellis Medicine, in Schenectady, also has information about breast cancer available on its website at http://www.ellismedicine.org/health-topics/about-breast-cancer.aspx?8ellismedicine/libv/w05.shtml
