Shelton program highlights cancer surgery options

Shelton Police Officer Mary Beth White

SHELTON - I attended a talk Monday night at the R.D. Scinto Auditorium about reconstructive surgery techniques for breast cancer survivors.

It was presented by Dr. Andrew S. Kenler and Dr. Shareef Jandali. They are members of the Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center at Bridgeport Hospital, part of the Yale-New Haven Health System.

The event was organized by Shelton Police Officer Mary Beth White, pictured above, who was diagnosed last year with Stage 1 breast cancer.

As a breast cancer survivor myself I commend White for bringing such an educational presentation to the community during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
