First Responders Cancer Awareness Program "Turns Up the Heat" with Top Cancer Expert Dr. Jesse Stoff.  New Hyde Park, NY - 6/25/19--The NY Cancer Resource Alliance (NYCRA) presented their First Responders Cancer Awareness & Resource program at one of the largest RMA (Retired Member’s Association/FDNY) meetings this year.  Earmarked by their giveaway button, “Get Checked Now!” has been educational mantra to promote the proactive self‐care message for all 9/11 survivors and career rescue personnel. Founded in 1946, the RMA has been one of the largest national fraternal organizations dedicated to supporting the access of much needed information to all retired members.  Former firefighter and senior awareness ambassador Sal Banchitta defined NYCRA’s curriculum as a “one-two punch” – the first being about current SCREENING & DIAGNOSTICS solutions, and then bringing out the second part of the cancer battle: a REVIEW OF ALL TREATMENT OPTIONS. “We couldn’t think of a bet

A SECOND OPINION MEANS PEACE OF MIND By: Arnaldo Silva Edited by: NYCRA writing staff I am writing this to all my brothers at the MBCC and all cancer survivors hoping to share the benefits of my recent health scare experience with you. About six months ago, I found a pressured lump on my right side and my belly grew bloated like a rock. I have seen several doctors from my plan including a gastroenterologist who (I felt) undermined what I was feeling by sending me off with pills just to make me comfortable. Over time, I began to notice the lump on my right side had grown to the size of a mango. Peggy (Miller) and Cheri (Ambrose), our fearless leaders found cause for concern - enough to scramble to get more information and an appointment with cancer imaging specialist Dr. Robert Bard . I wish to note that as a survivor of breast cancer, the stress of recurrence was overwhelming. I didn't make a fuss publicly about it partly because after breast cancer, I was told I was cancer free --

Autobiography by: Nancy Novack I was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer on April 29, 2004. It had metastasized into my liver. I was too happily innocent about the cancer world and I said two now-remarkable things: “Thank goodness, it is not appendicitis,” and “What is stage V?” This is the story of my evolution from a very shocked and frightened cancer patient with a form of cancer that has earned itself a lousy reputation. My simple and profound wish is that no one will ever go through cancer alone. I want every man, woman, teenager, and child who has to ‘walk the walk’ to have a hand to hold from someone who has been there, who understands the cancer mystery, and who will hang in there when times are tough. I suppose my mission since my “cancer journey” is all about determining the unmet needs of cancer patients, especially the emotional aspects, and do my best to find a way to fill them. The path started with finding ways to assist patients financially, moved to a call-to-action

Foreword: To fully grasp the sensible nature behind the science of Immunology is to understand the logic of how our overall physiology works in the most uncomplicated terms possible.  It is this logic that frames our very co-existence with disease (and cancer) and how our bodies are naturally designed to suppress them. Basic biology attributes any contracted sickness or disease to a WEAKENED and COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM.     Our body's  immune system  accounts for approximately 1% of the body's 100 trillion cells.  The different cell lineages that develop all share one common objective: to identify and destroy all substances ( living or inert ) which are recognized as not being part of what "should be in the body .” Whether it is an abnormal cell or what are perceived as dangerous or damaged cells, they are actively hunted down and destroyed by effector cells of the immune system.

THE TWO‐PART MISSION TO SAVE LIVES Fact: Cancer is a grim and dark topic that no one enjoys talking about. It’s not uncommon for many to BURY the idea that you could be NEXT-- preferring to believe cancer can happen to someone else. But history shows that CANCER WILL ALWAYS SURPRISE YOU! This is why creating a ground attack and a crusade needs to happen to "get the drop on cancer."  We can do this by staying smart with awareness, get vigilant with a healthy lifestyle and keeping our eyes open for this sneaky disease before it catches you! Any cancer survivor, cancer specialist or patient advocate will tell you that fighting cancer requires a ONE‐TWO PUNCH comprised of EDUCATIONAL AWARENESS to reinforce a proactive lifestyle and the right information of what’s truly available in the treatment world. The second half of the battle is taking on the regimen of Early Detection and Prevention through REGULAR CHECKUPS & SCREENING. That’s the smarts behind the ‘GET CHECKED NOW!’ m
