State Senator Michael H. Ranzenhofer will host a round table discussion for breast cancer survivors at 1 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30th, at the YWCA of Genesee County, 301 North St. in Batavia.
The two-hour program will be facilitated by the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester (BCCR).
“No one needs go through breast cancer alone,” said BCCR Executive Director Holly Anderson. “If you or a loved one receives a diagnosis of breast cancer, the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester is here to help. The Coalition offers education and support programs, as well as advocacy for those uninsured or underinsured.
The purpose of the discussion is to learn more about the experiences of survivors during the diagnosis, including:
• What happened when you were diagnosed with breast cancer?
• What resources were you given?
• Where did you turn for support?
• What resources did you find in your community?
• What do you wish you would have had access to at any point?
Family members impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis are welcome to attend. Due to limited seating, pre-registration is strongly encouraged. To pre-register, residents can contact the Coalition at (585) 473-8177.
