Local Police And Fire Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness
As many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We're all going to start seeing pink everywhere, as people show their support for those dealing with this condition.
In a story reported on by WWLP/22 News, breast cancer is the second-leading cause of death among women, with approximately one in eight women being diagnosed at some point in their lifetime.

If you have any of these symptoms, it’s recommended to see a doctor.

- Thickening or swelling in part of the breast
- Any change in the size or the shape
- Or pain in any area
