October is widely known as breast cancer awareness month. But, something not widely known about breast cancer is that men can also get breast cancer. While men developing breast cancer is rarer than women, it is not unheard of. The risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer as a man is about 1 in 1,000, but that risk still exists. Breast cancer does not discriminate.
The Women's Cancer Support Group, facilitated by Wendy Kaplan, RDN, and Dr. Yelda Nouri, will be held every second Wednesday of each month at our Lake Success office from 6-7 pm.
Our favorite day has arrived—Patient Celebration Day! Join us on Saturday, September 24th, from 12-4 pm at Bald Hill Amphitheater at 1 Ski Run Lane in Farmingville. Bring the family to enjoy carnival games, raffles, bbq food, and more!
The most important tool you have in the fight against breast cancer is your ability to recognize
when something doesn't feel right. But to spot abnormal changes, you have to know what normal
feels like so that you can tell that something isn't right when a change occurs.
