October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we’re exploring this topic on tonight’s show. Though breast cancer rates have fallen in recent years, one in eight women will be diagnosed with the disease this year. Dr. Laura Dominici will talk to us about breast cancer prevention and the latest technology and medical breakthroughs that are available. Dr. Laura is a member of the breast cancer team at the new Dana Farber/Brigham & Women’s Cancer Center in Clinical Affiliation with South Shore Hospital and we’ll learn more about this amazing resource right in our own backyard.

We’ll also talk with The Friends of Mel Foundation and other local charities helping to raise funds to continue breast cancer research. Join us tonight at 8!
