Attendees of this years tea enjoyed a great brunch, a yummy cookie table and most importantly, an informative talk from Dr. Shannon Puhalla. Dr. Puhalla is a medical oncologist who has been with UPMC Hillman Cancer Center since 2007. She broke down breast cancer into 3 categories and spoke on stages of cancer as well as treatments.
Her message gave women hope in that new treatments are always on the horizon and when one treatment is no longer effective, there is another that can be prescribed. Each new treatment can mean added years to a woman with breast cancer.
