It’s estimated that more than 2 million people are diagnosed with breast cancer and fight for their lives each year. Breast cancer is difficult to face alone—for both patients and their loved ones.

Local store promotes breast cancer awareness, raises funds for American Cancer Society.
Dress Barn is asking to help "Paint The Country Pink" to recognize National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Florham Park store is one of more than 800 locations across the country working to help raise money for the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research. Through the month of October, Dress Barn will donate $1 to the American Cancer Society for each person who "paints" the country pink on PaintTheCountryPink.com.

The more people participate, the pinker the country gets and the more the store donates. Dress Barn will donate up to $100,000. The message is to let cancer victims know "you are not alone—we will …

Dr. Kathleen Ruddy and her work with the Pink Virus Project could show virus as a cause of breast cancer.
If Dr. Kathleen Ruddy has her way, and if early evidence is directing her and her foundation in the right direction, that sucking sound you hear from the health care system will be a different one. Instead of a vacuum taking money from the population, the noise will be coming from the cost curve. "If you can show 40 percent of breast cancer is caused by a virus, you could start to take that off the table," said the Madison resident. "Reducing the incidents of breast cancer by 40 percent is going to save a ton of money, much more than trying to convince women to exercise or to stop drinking alcohol." Ruddy is a breast cancer surgeon whose private practice is located at Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville, where she had been the …
