HOW TO DISCUSS A CANCER DIAGNOSIS WITH YOUR EMPLOYER
Discuss how to share the news. Once your boss and HR department has been notified, seek their input regarding how to break the news to your colleagues. If you routinely work with people across multiple departments, it may be best to inform everyone through email, as it can be exhausting to break the news to each colleague individually. But it’s also alright if you prefer to keep the diagnosis under wraps. In the latter case, it might still be wise to inform those you work with closely each day, as that can help them prepare for increased responsibilities as your treatment progresses and potentially makes it hard for you to continue working full-time. When discussing how to share the news with an HR department, be specific about how much you want to share, as you may only feel comfortable discussing details of your diagnosis with certain coworkers, such as your boss.

DID YOU KNOW? The American Heartworm Society advises dog owners to have their furry companions tested for heartworm annually. Such tests can typically be conducted during routine preventive care visits to the veterinarian. The AHS notes that such tests are necessary even for dogs that are taking year-round heartworm prevention medications. Tests can confirm that such programs are working or indicate if they are not effective. The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that antigen tests are the most commonly performed tests. These tests detect the presence of adult female heartworms and they are typically highly accurate. If a test is positive, veterinarians may recommend further testing, including radiographs, a blood profile and an echocardiogram. Such tests can determine a number of things about the infection, including its severity. The AVMA also notes that the additional testing can help determine the best course of treatment. Cat owners should know that it’s more difficult to detect heartworm in cats than in dogs. The AHS indicates that cats are much less likely than dogs to have adult heartworms, making the disease harder to detect in felines. Veterinarians may recommend cats receive both the antigen test and an antibody test, which detects exposure to heartworm larvae. The AVMA notes that more testing may increase the likelihood of detecting the disease in cats.
FOR FALLEN LEAVES
Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost piles to improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them.
When temperatures get especially low, pipes with water still in them can freeze and burst, potentially leading to significant water damage. When you no longer need to water the lawn and when temperatures get too cold to wash your car in the driveway, be sure to shut off the water supply to outdoor spigots and sprinkler systems. Once you do that, drain them so no water is sitting in the pipes when temperatures dip.

Eligard Injections Cause Man To Develop Breast Tissue
Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been treated for prostate cancer and stopped my semiannual Eligard injections three years ago. I’m 75 years old and about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. Before treatment, I weighed 227 pounds; I currently weigh 209 pounds. My testosterone level is 49.6 ng/dL. My breasts have become somewhat feminine.
My question is: Will they regain their normal appearance? I’m losing weight slowly, and I’m trying to build muscle with weights. -- Anon.
ANSWER: Gynecomastia is the growth of male breast tissue, specifically when not due to breast cancer. It can happen during puberty in healthy males, but it is a common side effect of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Up to 75% of men treated with antiandrogen therapy like leuprolide (Lupron or Eligard) will develop breast tissue.
It isn’t likely that the breast tissue will go away on its own.For men who want treatment due to the appearance or tenderness of the breast tissue, there are radiation, medication and surgical treatments available. Radiation therapy is the most effective for men who develop breast tissue with androgen-depletion treatment.
Tamoxifen is the usual medical treatment, and you may ask the physician treating your prostate cancer about these choices. Men who can’t take or choose not to take either of these treatments can be referred for surgical treatment, which can be liposuction or a mastectomy.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 74-year-old active male currently taking a daily 81-mg aspirin due to a periodic heart arrythmia. I have elective sinus surgery scheduled, requiring that I be under a general anesthetic for 90 minutes and that I be off aspirin for the two weeks preceding the procedure.
I’m beginning to have second thoughts about the surgery as I wonder if I’m risking a stroke. Would you please share your thoughts on this? Thank you. -- R.B.
A.ANSWER: Aspirin is used in some people with atrial fibrillation (the likely heart arrythmia you would be put on aspirin for) when they are at a low risk for a stroke.
There is a score called the CHA2DS2-VASc that is used to estimate risk. People at a higher risk are recommended anticoagulants such as apixaban (Eliquis). Since you are 74, you get at least one point for your age, and unless you have another risk factor that I don’t know about, you have an estimated risk of stroke without treatment of approximately 0.6% per year.
While it is true that being off aspirin for a period of time around a surgery increases your stroke risk, your risk is already so low that the absolute risk of being off aspirin for two weeks is quite small. You should always consider the risks of any surgery against the benefits, but the risk of stroke in your case is small compared to the risks anyone has with sinus surgery (such as bleeding or an infection).
I am a little surprised about it being two weeks; normally when a person comes off aspirin before surgery, it’s for five to seven days. Also, not all surgeons require aspirin to be stopped before sinus surgery.
Since your reason to be on aspirin is to prevent a stroke due to your arrythmia, and this risk appears to be very small, it may be that the surgeon determined the risk of stopping aspirin was so small. So, it wouldn’t be worth the possible increased risk of bleeding from the sinus surgery if you’re still taking aspirin.
If you haven’t talked to your regular doctor or cardiologist about this, I recommend doing so since I don’t have your full medical history.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

Ode to Autumn
By Chey Miller
Weary Summer nods her head when Autumn comes to call.
“A few more weeks is all I ask, and then I’ll head down south.”
Summer packs her trappings — her floral scents and warmth — and gathers up her greenery, and flocks of birds, of course. She shuffles off so slowly, casting tender backward glances.
“It’s hard to leave a place you love,” she sighs, while Autumn dances.
Autumn opens his carpet bag and shakes his clothing out. With cap of yellow, coat of gold and brown, gloves of orange, and boots of red he struts ‘round field and town.
All alone, he paints the scene with carefree, wild abandon: no hue’s too bold, no shade’s too bright, there’s no concern with clashing.
He dabs at first, then paints a swath, then flings whole bucketsful!
e hills and dales are glorious in Autumn’s peerless fashion.
One night he slyly sets aside for “Autumn’s Grand Finale.” We’re fast asleep when out he creeps and seeds the earth with glitter.
“Wake up!” he shouts, when Dawn peeks out and sets the clarions a-twitter.
“Look what I’ve done! Is this not grand? It’s beauty that I’m a er!”
e sun beams down and out we troop to marvel at the splendor.
en one chill eve he hears a knock and calls, already knowing, “Who’s there?”
“Guess who!” howls Winter, hoarily, “Good gracious, how it’s snowing!”

A huge THANK YOU to the three shoppers who helped me after a fall in the store at the Dollar General in Livonia on Sunday. Also, thanks to the store manager for getting the bandages, etc. This is a wonderful community. Thanks again. I will always remember all of you.
Autumn in the Village
Thank you to all who donated Gifts, Gift Cards, or Gift Certificates to Autumn in the Village. Our day was a great success!
Post Office Praise
As I was sending out a birthday gift to a friend, another patron at the post office saved me a few bucks by sharing her gift wrapping to make sure a candle would not break in transport. We then shared a few stories of our loved ones who we were sending gifts to and connected over year-long Christmas trees! It was a special moment of human connection! Then at the window, I didn’t have my package taped shut, and the attendant was extremely patient, kind, and helpful as we got the package secure. Small town connections win!
Clothing Sizing Anoying
Why oh why can’t women’s clothing sizes be simpler?! When we need to try on absolutely every garment, even if we ‘usually’ are a certain size, different brands run different sizing and fit, and even within the same brand, depending on country of manufacture, the exact same listed size can be vastly different from another. It is so frustrating. Yes, first world problem, but it is a lifelong aggravation for sure. www.featuredmedia.com
Now that School is in Session
Since schools have started and the school bus comes roughly the same time plus/minus 5-10 minutes, act as responsible parents who are in charge of raising the next generation. Can you have your children out by the road when the bus gets there? Why does the bus need to sit there with the light flashing, honking the horn, and you come to the door in your night clothes acting surprised the bus is there to pick up your children? It used to be if you were not in sight the bus driver would slow down and if you didn’t want to be picked up, you would have to drive your children to school! Grow up; more is caught than is taught, have your children ready for the bus. THANKS to all the patient people who have to wait while you get your act together.
LEROY HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE EARNS SUNY FREDONIA COMMENDATION FOR COMPUTER
ANIMATION
BY ALECIA KAUS AND SUZIE WELLS
Congratulations to sophomore Lyla Jones, who participated in the NYS Summer School of the Arts program at SUNY Fredonia this summer and received a Certificate of Commendation for meritorious achievement at the 2025 School of Media Arts in Computer Animation.
“Animation is all about timing and spacing.”
- LYLA JONES
Lyla says, “I signed up to hopefully get back into animation because I really enjoy it. I found myself having trouble having time for it. So, I thought, what better way to get back into animation than going to a camp for a month just to animate.”
Twenty-eight students with exceptional talent in media arts were chosen to attend the program through a statewide portfolio review. The fourweek program started July 6th and went through August 1st. Students lived on campus during the program and received a full unit of college credit for the course. They engaged in 140 hours of direct instruction, studio work, screenings, and lectures for about seven hours a day.
“It was really cool,” Lyla says. “It gave us a little taste of college life. So, even if animation is something I might not go into, I was still happy I got the experience of living in the dorms for a month. I think it really prepared me for college life, so when I graduate, I’ll know what to expect.”
During the program, she learned techniques such as pose-by-pose animation, as opposed to frameby-frame, explaining: “So, you’ll make one pose, then you’ll make it here, and then you’ll do the in between frames. If you do frame by frame, it makes it look very unnatural. Animation is all about timing and spacing. So, say you have two seconds, and sometimes you’ll have more frames if you want it to be slower, and less frames if you want it to look quicker. I’d say we learned a lot there.”
This latest recognition builds on a string of accomplishments. Last year, Lyla was chosen as the first-place winner of the 19th Annual Digital Media Festival Award program at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester for her animation video titled The Wizzard of Oz. She was also a top-three finalist in the Digies Awards in the Video Category (7th–9th grade), where she created an animated promotional video for the Le Roy Jr. Sr. H.S. musical The Wizard of Oz. That project took her about three to four months to complete. “It requires me to draw a picture and then move the picture a little bit frame by frame and then I clip all the pictures together to make a longer video,” she explained.
Her growth as an animator has been steady. In previous years, she placed first with a video submission, second with a collaborative social studies project, and fourth with a submission in sixth grade. She attributes her improvement to reviewing old work. “If you’re watching an old animation, and you notice something that’s a little choppy, you have to find ways to make it run smoother.”
She is also fascinated by the science of movement. “You have to pay attention to how the actual human body moves. Like, before you move your hand, you don’t move it forward immediately, you have to pull it back a little. I think a lot of that is just those kinds of mechanics you have to engrain in your head.”
Lyla has been self-taught since third grade, when she won first place in an audio submission about cats—because, as she recalls, she really wanted a cat at home. Though she says science is her “thing” and she hopes to pursue a career in engineering, physics, or a related field, she plans to keep animation in her life no matter what.
As she moves forward into her sophomore year, Lyla says she plans to continue creating animation on her own during the school year, applying all that she learned over the summer at Fredonia.
Physical activity can help in the fight against breast cancer
Breast cancer is a complex disease that affects millions of women across the globe each year. ough the American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that only about 4 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States are under age 40, women of all ages can take steps to protect themselves against this deadly disease. Exercise benefits women in a myriad of ways, and that includes lowering their risk for breast cancer. e ACS notes that researchers are increasingly linking exercise to a reduced risk for breast cancer. ough the reasons behind that link remain unclear, some theorize that the positive effects of exercise on body weight, inflammation, hormones, and energy balance could be why regular physical activity helps women reduce their risk of breast cancer.
Body weight and breast cancer
e National Cancer Institute reports that being obese a er menopause can significantly increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. In addition, the ACS attributes the rise in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers to an increased prevalence of excessive body weight. Routine exercise is a highly effective way to lose weight and keep weight off, which in turn could lower women’s risk for breast cancer.
Being sedentary and breast cancer
Be Ex coul ph canc has dise the the bu
Exercise is a not a sedentary activity, and that could be another reason why women who are physically active have a lower risk for breast cancer. e ACS notes that more than one study has linked sitting time to a higher risk of various diseases, including breast cancer. Researchers with the ACS analyzed data from 77,462 women, who they followed for an average of 15.8 years. None of the participants had cancer when the study started, but researchers found that women who sat for six or more hours per day during their free time had a 10 percent greater risk for invasive breast cancer than women who sat for less than three hours per day during free time.
Does physical activity really reduce breast cancer risk?
e human body is complex, and a host of factors, including those like age that women have no control over, can affect cancer risk. However, engaging in routine physical activity seems to be an effective way for women to reduce their risk for breast cancer. In fact, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation estimates that one-third of all breast cancer cases could be prevented with positive lifestyle choices that help women maintain a healthy weight, including exercise.
Routine physical activity can be a significant weapon in women’s arsenal as they continue their efforts to prevent and overcome breast cancer.

Data from the GLSEN® 2019 National School Climate Survey indicates that 59 percent of LGBTQ students felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation. Roughly one-third of LGBTQ students indicated they had missed at least one entire day of school in the month preceding their participation in the survey because they felt unsafe or uncomfortable,while just under 9 percent admitted missing four or more days during that span. The survey consisted of more than 16,000 students between the ages of 13 and 21 and represented students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and Guam. Results from the 2021 survey will be available in fall 2022. Spirit Day is an effort to highlight and support programming that counters the dangerous effects of bullying of LGBTQ youth.

MEET OUR NEWEST EDITORIAL TEAM MEMBER:
Sophia Kovatch
Dear Readers,
My name is Sophia Kovatch, and I’m the new writer for the Genesee Valley Penny Saver. I’m excited to join the Penny Saver as it works to expand the stories it brings you (thanks to your support!). Having mostly written for websites, I’ve always wanted to work for a publication with its own printing press, so that’s exciting too.
I’ve been writing professionally for over ten years, writing for all kinds of companies and publications. I’ve written for award-winning news outlets and nationally recognized brands, and I’ve spent far too many hours trying to outwit Google’s ranking algorithm. rough these experiences, I’ve learned that the more connected I am to the subjects of my stories and the people who read them, the more fun I have while writing. In joining the Penny Saver, I have a stronger connection than ever to my work, so I expect to have more fun writing than I ever have before.
In my free time, you can usually find me reading a stack of library books or looking for cool birds by Oatka Creek. I also spend time each week teaching storytelling at Adventures & Art in Caledonia and stewarding Akimbo Books on University Ave in Rochester.
You’ll start seeing my byline on more Hometown Stories in upcoming editions of the Penny Saver. I’ll also help bring new kinds of content for you to enjoy both in print and online. I’ve got some ideas, but I’d love to know what kinds of stories you want to read in the Penny Saver. Send in your story ideas to hometown@featuredmedia.com.
All my best, Sophia Kovatch

Long nails can be painful for dogs. The experts in holistic care at Dogs Naturally Magazine say that long nails that will come in contact with hard ground can push back up into the nail bed and cause discomfort. Long nails also may cause the toes to twist. Most dogs require their nails be trimmed every two weeks. This time period may be extended if the dog goes for long walks frequently.
“Haven’t been to a dentist in a very long time! Never once felt any judgement. I met 5 different people that worked there and would recommend to anyone! The most happy, friendly, professional people I have ever met! Anyone out there that hates dentists or fears mouth pain, needs to call Dr. Garcia and his incredible staff!” – Michael

A Talking Cat?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Whenever I’m having a conversation with my friends or talking to my mom, our cat “Jasper” stands right in the middle of our group and meows. If we stop talking, he stops meowing. What’s going on? Is my cat trying to talk? -- Victoria L., Canton, Massachusetts
DEAR VICTORIA: Sort of! Although it’s probably because Jasper sees a bunch of humans gathered together, all of whom have thumbs and can therefore open a bag of treats for him.
Cats vocalize with humans more than they do with other cats. Much more. Researchers (and owners) have figured out that they meow at us a lot because it prompts us to give them food,treats and snuggles -- even though we have a harder time understanding cats’ meows than other animal noises. They’re very perceptive, these housecats, with not much to distract them from observing us all the time (especially since so many of us work from home these days).
They’ve figured out our daily schedule better than we have. I have a cat who hops on my lap and starts head-butting my smartphone exactly at bedtime. He gets his little snack, and I get eight proper hours of sleep. And if I get home late? Oh, the silent treatment I receive. It’s the complete opposite of meowing, and just as manipulative.
Like you, I’d like to think that Jasper is just trying to get in on the excited conversation going on all around him. That could be the case. It could also be Jasper’s realization that big gatherings of humans usually involve food ... and if he stays underfoot, some of that deliciousness will come his way.

The Most Treatable Serious Senior Health Issue: Loneliness
Here are some tactics to help seniors combat loneliness:
• Get moving. Physical exercise increases the body’s level of “feel good” hormones, and can contribute to improved sleep, as well as fewer aches and pains. Seniors should get 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise per day, and if you exercise with companions, you’re also reaping the social benefits of the activity.
• Sit down with a friend or family member and watch a funny movie or TV show together. Laughter’s positive effects on the mind and body are well documented. Laughing together improves mood and can make people feel more connected.
• Make new connections. Sit with someone at lunch whom you don’t know well. Ask a neighbor to go for a walk with you. Join a club or social organization.
• Help yourself feel better by helping others. positive effects on mental health. When you volunt others, you’ll feel good about your actions and al opportunities to meet new people.
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Yes, you can turn off the news
• Learn something new - it’s not only good for cognitive health, it gives you the chance to make new connections with other students. Take a craft class, go to a personal finance seminar or take a cooking class.
Several months ago I took a “short” break from watching the daily news -- except that break wasn’t so short after all when I extended it to over a month.
Then, wanting to continue with the peace that came from not being hooked into the daily news cycles and media hysteria, I set my phone to send me alerts with short blurbs about important news. I could quickly scan the few lines of the alert, catch up and be done with it. That’s worked well these past months.
Except it doesn’t keep people from calling me to ask if I’ve seen a certain piece of news or telling me to quickly turn on the television. The bigger the news, the more people who call.
I’ve advised more than one upset person to turn the television off and not turn it on again for an hour or two. After a serious event, news stations will continue to hash over the same initial information, even if they don’t know anything new. Nothing good can come from hearing the same bad news over and over.
There’s more to it than just keeping up with what’s going on. If you’re having trouble sleeping, if you’re stressed all the time, if you’re afraid or angry -- all these things can be a result of watching too much of the news.
If you have high blood pressure and a home monitor, keep track of it as a way to spot whether any spikes in your BP coincide with events you’ve watched on the news.
If you have a cellphone, there are several free news apps you can use that will alert you to events.

RÉSUMÉ WRITING RULES TO FOLLOW
Be brief yet effective
A concise design is key. Many recruiters spend little to no time reviewing the hordes of résumés they receive. In fact, automated résumé bots may initially screen the documents to thin the crowd. According to data from the 12th annual Mystery Job Candidate survey by CareerXRoads, the average recruiter spends six seconds looking at a résumé. If a résumé is lengthy or doesn’t attract attention, it will likely be ignored. Stick to a single-page and make sure wording is brief but meaty.

WORKPLACE GIFTING ETIQUETTE: GET GIVING RIGHT
Gift giving in the workplace can be challenging territory to navigate. And as anyone who has received an inappropriate gift or something that really wasn’t useful can attest, he or she probably doesn’t want to face a situation in which a gift leads to office gossip.
According to a poll conducted by Harris, around half of workers plan to gift at least one business associate around the holidays but are confused about what to give. Too often it’s up to workers to navigate these etiquette minefields on their own, but the following tips can help the process go smoothly.
Keep it impersonal. Impersonal doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to grab anything off the shelf. But the gift should not be something that would offend tastes or sentiments. Avoid clothing, perfume, jewelry, or accessories. Lotions and other scented items are also ill-advised. Skip your boss. Etiquette experts say that gifts should flow downward not upward in the realm of employment ranking. That means it’s best to stick with gifting colleagues who are on the same level as you. Buying a gift for the boss may look like you’re simply trying to score brownie points instead of offering a meaningful gift.
Give group gifts. Rather than gifting individuals, it can be safer to give a group gift from which many can benefit. This can include coffee and pastries from a nearby bakery, or a bouquet of flowers to brighten up the office environment.
Keep prices modest. Office giving is not about illustrating who can afford the most expensive gift. Remember, some people will not be able to reciprocate, and they shouldn’t feel uncomfortable for being on the receiving end of a lavish gift.
Follow the rules. Gift exchanges should be cleared with supervisors or human resources professionals. It pays to check if there are rules in place for gifting others.
Avoid cash gifts. Giving cash or checks is not a good idea. Money should only come by way of bonuses from higher-ups. If you’re stuck on what to give, a gift card to a store that a coworker visits is acceptable.

BREAST CANCER TREATMENT
Most patients with breast cancer have surgery to remove the cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the removal of the sentinel lymph node during surgery. The sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node to receive lymphatic drainage from a tumor. It is the first lymph node where the cancer is likely to spread. A radioactive substance and/or blue dye is injected near the tumor. The substance or dye flows through the lymph ducts to the lymph nodes. The first lymph node to receive the substance or dye is removed. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells. After the sentinel lymph node biopsy, the surgeon removes the tumor using breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. If cancer cells were not found in the sentinel lymph node, it may not be necessary to remove more lymph nodes. If cancer cells were found, more lymph nodes will be removed through a separate incision. This is called a lymph node dissection.
Types of surgery include the following:
• Breast-conserving surgery is an operation to remove the cancer and some normal tissue around it, but not the breast itself. Part of the chest wall lining may also be removed if the cancer is near it. This type of surgery may also be called lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, segmental mastectomy, quadrantectomy, or breast-sparing surgery.
• Total mastectomy: Surgery to remove the whole breast that has cancer. This procedure is also called a simple mastectomy. Some of the lymph nodes under the arm may be removed and checked for cancer. This may be done at the same time as the breast surgery or after. This is done through a separate incision.
• Modifiedradicalmastectomy:Surgerytoremovethewholebreastthat has cancer, many of the lymph nodes under the arm, the lining over the chest muscles, and sometimes, part of the chest wall muscles. Chemotherapy may be given before surgery to remove the tumor. When given before surgery, chemotherapy will shrink the tumor and reduce the amount of tissue that needs to be removed during surgery. Treatment given before surgery is called preoperative therapy or neoadjuvant therapy.
Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, some patients may be given radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy after surgery, to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called postoperative therapy or adjuvant therapy.
If a patient is going to have a mastectomy, breast reconstruction (surgery to rebuild a breast’s shape after a mastectomy) may be considered. Breast reconstruction may be done at the time of the mastectomy or at some time after. The reconstructed breast may be made with the patient’s own (nonbreast) tissue or by using implants filled with saline or silicone gel.
