" October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a time to support research and be vigilant about our own self-examinations. I love the fact that the beauty industry has really embraced the cause. There&amp;#039;s now a vast supply of products on the market for which a portion of the profits is donated to breast cancer charities-which means any of us can pitch in just by shopping. When you&amp;#039;re out at the mall, keep your eye out for pink ribbon products, or check here for a great list. Avon also is a big supporter and has some great products listed here. And don&amp;#039;t think that it&amp;#039;s only girly stuff that benefits the cause... even the NFL gets in the spirit, adding touches of pink to their uniforms this month and offering limited edition pink merchandise, which can be found here. Any of us who&amp;#039;ve had experiences with cancer or know someone who is battling the disease, are aware that it can be an emotionally debilitating process. Recently at the lab we had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Stewart B. Fleishman, founding Director of Cancer Supportive Services at Continuum Cancer Centers of New York and author of Learn to Live Through Cancer: What You Need to Know and Do. More than just a book, it&amp;#039;s an innovative guide that offers valuable insight and support for both cancer patients and their families.  Today, it&amp;#039;s estimated that there are about 12 million cancer survivors, a number that&amp;#039;s projected to increase to 22 million by 2022. According to Dr. Fleishman, practicing good health and nutrition is essential to survivorship. Dr. Fleishman&amp;#039;s book is a step-by-step hand-holding guide that takes the patient and her family through the entire journey through cancer beginning with initial consultations and treatment all the way through to long- term survivorship. The backbone of the book is the LEARN System (Living, Education, Activity, Rest, Nutrition that promotes healing and healthy habits from the start of cancer treatment. Dr. Fleishman&amp;#039;s light-hearted tone and insightful advice is designed to make coping with cancer easier. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
