Now they have to figure out a way to fill that void. And so the citys manager lafayette city manager steve faulk has been out shopping for a new pipe. So this morning, my City Engineer and i are meeting with teams of local contractors to determine who if anybody has the type of drain pipe that would be appropriate for that creek. And specifically, were looking for sections of pipe that are 10 feet in diameter. And so its not something that you exactly go to home depot and buy off the shelf. Typically, you have to order these on a custom basis but were searching the bay area and in fact all of the entire state to see if anybody has enough sufficient quantity of that size pipe to drop into that hole and if they do, well see if we can find a contractor to do it. Reporter the city council appropriated some emergency money last night for will faulk. He has a Million Dollars now from the general fund to get this fixed.

A New Discovery could be a game changer for Breast Cancer treatment. Dr. Kim mulvihill explains how doubling the recommendation for tamoxifen should stop the cancer from coming back. Reporter carrie took tamoxifen for five years after she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at age 33. Even though it may, you know, make you not feel great or you might have side effects, you know that youre doing something thats helping you. Reporter most Breast Cancers are fueled by estrogen and hormone blockers like tamoxifen can help cut the risk of recurrence. Now new Research Suggests women should take it for 10 years, twice as long as the current fiveyear recommendation for tamoxifen. Researchers studied nearly 7,000 women with estrogen sensitive Breast Cancer who had completed five years of tamoxifen. Half were randomly chosen to take the drug another five years. The others were told to stop. They found women who took it for 10 years lowered their risk of recurrence by 25 and of dying of Breast Cancer by 29 compared to those who took the pills for just five years. The benefits are particularly in the second 10 years. Thats very helpful i think for that group of women who really have been worrying until now. Reporter there are about 230,000 new cases of Breast Cancer each year in the u. S. 50,000 are in young women before menopause. I think this will have an effect on practice and particularly for my young patients at high risk of recurrence. I think longer tamoxifen will feel safer for all of us. Reporter even women like carrie who took it years ago may consider going back on it. I trust my doctor unequivocally so if he told me, you need to go on this drug for five years, i would do it. Reporter the 44yearold says she just wants to be here for as many years as she can. You every now it does have some troubling now it does have troubling side effects including cancer of the lining of the uterus, blood clots, hot flashes and night sweats and nausea but experts say the potential risk of those things is outweighed by the benefit of less Breast Cancer recurrence.
