On Oct. 2, Councilwoman Vanessa
Gibson announced funding she allocated
in the Fiscal Year 2021 budget
towards clean-up initiatives in the
Bronx to decrease littering on sidewalks
and public parks.
She held a press conference at
Joyce Kilmer Park and was joined by
Bronx Community Solutions, Wildcat,
Center for Employment Opportunities,
the 161st Street Business
Improvement District and other community
organizations.
The Department of Sanitation was
subject to substantial spending cuts
in the budget due to a revenue loss
from COVID-19. This has resulted in
a decrease in weekday basket truck
pickups from curbside garbage bins
and an increase in concerns from
residents over quality of life issues
in their neighborhoods. Gibson and
other community groups have attempted
to fi ll in the gap through coordinating
community-led park clean
up events and funding from the council
member’s budget went towards
power washing commercial corridors
in her district.

Age is a risk factor for
breast cancer, and the organization
Susan G. Komen notes
that the older a woman is, the
more likely she is to get breast
cancer. However, data from
the National Cancer Institute
indicates that breast cancer
rates in women begin to increase
after age 40, meaning
many women diagnosed with
breast cancer have to juggle
both their disease and their
careers.
The nonprofi t organization
Breastcancer.org says that
breast cancer treatments can
produce some cognitive side
effects that affect thinking and
memory. Memory loss and diffi
culty concentrating are two
such side effects that can make
it diffi cult for working women
to do their jobs while being
treated for breast cancer.
Professional women diagnosed
with breast cancer may
be able to take advantage of
short- and long-term disability
programs that provide a
percentage of their incomes if
they are diagnosed with an illness
that prevents them from
doing their jobs. In addition,
Breastcancer.org notes that, in
the United States, the Family
and Medical Leave Act allows
employees to maintain their
benefi ts and keep their jobs
while taking up to 12 weeks of
unpaid leave to heal from serious
health conditions.
Despite those options, many
women may want to continue
working while receiving treatment
for breast cancer. Such
women can heed the following
tips, courtesy of Breastcancer.
org, to overcome any cognitive
effects of treatment so they
can continue to perform their
jobs capably:
Start taking notes. Start
taking notes during meetings,
important work-related
conversations, and even doctor’s
appointments to counter
any issues with memory. Keep
such notes on a tablet or smartphone
so they can be quickly
and easily accessed throughout
the day.
Write down deadlines and
work schedules. Accomplished
professionals may keep lists of
deadlines and work schedules
in their heads, but that internal
list might not be so reliable
while women are being treated
for breast cancer. Make use of
the calendar function on your
smartphone or tablet to note
deadlines, even setting alerts
so you receive routine reminders
when important dates are
coming up.
Make and routinely update
a to-do list. Some professional
women diagnosed with breast
cancer may be juggling work,
treatment, and their families.
Keeping a to-do list and checking
items off as they’re completed
can help women effectively
manage such juggling
acts and save time.
Set realistic goals. Breast
cancer treatment can produce
a host of side effects, including
fatigue. So women who
plan to continue working during
treatment should be sure
to set realistic goals that take
into account the effects that
treatment may have on their
energy levels. If need be, delegate
more tasks and ask for
more help.
Many women continue
working while being treated
for breast cancer. A few simple
adjustments can help such
women overcome many treatment
related obstacles.
Data from the National Cancer Institute indicates that breast cancer
rates in women begin to increase after age 40, meaning many women
diagnosed with breast cancer have to juggle both their disease and
their careers.
