"We all have dreams and desires that
should be allowed to grow and flourish.
Having optimism and faith benefits those
who undergo treatment for breast cancer
but also enriches the lives of all that
are touched."
Breast Cancer Awareness
The month of October denotes Breast
Cancer Awareness but we should be
vigilant throughout the year. Although
the major incidence of breast cancer is
found in women, there are also a
significant number of males who are
afflicted with this life-altering
problem. We have made enormous strides
in the detection and treatment of breast
cancer but have yet to offer freedom
from this physical and emotional malady.
Self-examination, followed by routine
physician evaluation and mammography
allow timely recognition, treatment and
cure. Your active participation in your
own health care is of paramount
importance. Therapies have become more
effective and easier to tolerate.
Deforming surgeries, performed many
years ago, have been replaced by simpler
yet effective modalities for removing
the cancer cells. And for those women
who choose a mastectomy there are a host
of reconstructive procedures available
to reshape this very vital area of the
body.
Hope is the common thread that weaves us
together, as we fight against and treat
breast cancer. The Norma F. Pfriem
Breast Care Center, whose symbol is the
rose of hope, at Bridgeport Hospital and
in Fairfield, is an organization
dedicated to quality of life.
It may be ironic to celebrate this month
with the enthusiasm normally given to a
holiday, but the progress that has been
made and will continue to be made in the
detection and cure of breast cancer not
only gives us all hope for the future,
but tears of joy for those women and men
who will be able to live normal,
productive lives. Wishing health and
happiness for the years ahead!

Dear friends,
Why, you may ask, host a fundraiser for a breast care center?
The dreaded threat of breast cancer does not discriminate. It is
ubiquitous among half of our society.
My family’s personal experience has enlightened me to a place of
hope, loving kindness and selfless giving—The Norma F. Pfriem
Breast Care Center in Fairfield.
A place that enables women in need to dream of a future.
The art exhibit is not so much about my work, but about the
limitless possibilities that await us to create, to soar and to
dream.
On August 15, please join us for a celebration of life, for the
creativity that lightens our hearts, and for The Chance to
Dream.
Jeffrey S.
Rosenthal, M.D.
