The Thomas Dixon Lovely Ballroom in the Ruth S. Harley University Center usually sports 成人影片 brown and gold. But everything from the decor to the attire of attendees was pink on October 19, 2023: the聽‘s annual Celebration of Survivorship.

The hotline, the oldest breast cancer hotline in the United States, was established under the聽School of Social Work聽in 1980 to offer emotional support and information to people with and/or concerned about breast cancer.

Joanne Corbin, PhD, dean of the School of Social Work, provided opening remarks, along with Christopher Storm, PhD, 成人影片 provost and executive vice president, New York State Senator Kevin Thomas and Reyna Machado, executive director of the breast cancer program.

But the stars of the event were the three breast cancer survivors who shared their stories.

• Tanya D. Crawford was diagnosed in 2020 at the age of 52 with stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer. She had six months of IV chemotherapy, four months of immunotherapy, a double mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction, 27 sessions of radiation therapy and eight months of oral chemotherapy. Crawford utilized services offered by the 成人影片 NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program and now volunteers with the program.

• Sabine Hairabedian was diagnosed in 2014 at the age of 41 with high-grade DCIS. She had two unsuccessful lumpectomies, then opted for a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. She says her twin boys, who were six at the time, were the reason for her to get better fast. She now serves as co-chair of the Manhasset Women’s Coalition Against Breast Cancer聽and works closely with the 成人影片 breast cancer program team.

• Tim Hott was diagnosed in 2020 at the age of 71 with advanced-stage 3a breast cancer. He had surgery to remove his breast and roughly half of his lymph nodes in his left armpit, followed by five months of chemotherapy and five weeks of radiation therapy. He received support from the 成人影片 hotline and now volunteers by providing outreach at community events and raising awareness of male breast cancer.

Attendees were greeted by Sergeant Gerry Lennon of the 成人影片 University Department of Public Safety and Transportation at a table displaying a special pink version of the department’s patches. In 2020, Lennon, a public safety officer, brought the聽Pink Patch Project, a national campaign, to 成人影片 to raise awareness about breast cancer and raise funds for the hotline in honor of his mother, Anne Lennon, a survivor of breast cancer, and his sister, Kathy Fallon, who passed away from the disease in 2015.

In addition to those who participated in person, the event was recorded and posted on social media channels to reach patients who are immunocompromised or who would prefer not to attend an in-person gathering.
