(Long Island, NY) Women and men who have completed active treatment for breast cancer are invited to “A Legacy of Survivorship,” an educational and supportive program in which breast cancer survivors will share their coping styles in facing the next chapter in their recovery process. The event, which is co-sponsored by North Shore LIJ Cancer Institute and Adelphi Breast Cancer Program, will be held on DAY, September 9 from 6 to 7:30 pm at Monter Cancer Center Conference Room, 450 Lakeville Road in Lake Success.

On the panel are three breast cancer survivors who also are hotline volunteers: Chris Amatuli of Merrick, Roz Catena of Westbury, Diane Greene of Plainview and Marcia Partridge of Wantagh.
