Much for that. Lets continue talking about this important subject. Joining me is dr. Simmons, chief of breast surgery at new york presbyterian wild cornell. We just heard this report. The first woman was talking about how she basically found out she had Breast Cancer through her own selfexamination. That was the start of it all. How important is selfexamination . Its quite important. A lot of patients do find their own Breast Cancer. In her situation, she knew something wasnt right. She had the mammogram. It didnt show anything. She had the 3d mammogram. Didnt show anything. She wanted an ultrasound. Thats how they found the cancer. Ernie how often and how soon should a woman begin breast exams . Every year at the age of 40. Now, if you have a Strong Family history of a young relative, perhaps earlier than that. And then i also think that ultrasounds are very important in young women. Tissue is so dense, you cant always see everything with a mammogram. Ernie we hear a lot of women are nervous. We talked about this. Theyre a little uncomfortable about going. Maybe theyre going to discover something, but also this peace of mind. Theres so many conflicting reports and information about the guidelines, what to do, what not to do. As a top surgeon, your experience, what should women do, what should they follow to give them the sense of comfort and peace of mind . They should do appropriate screenings, which is mammograms after age 40, ultrasounds for dense breast tissue and selfexaminations are very important. Once a month after 18, 20 years old or so. And the best time is right after your menstrual period. Because your breast tissue is the least confusing at that point in time. You get a better exam. Ernie that would start at 18plus . Is that what youre saying . Selfexamination. Correct. Correct. Ernie as far as technology goes, its amazing. I mean, you deal with this all the time. You work with so many patients. And also what we can expect. One advance recently has been genetic testing. So now women who have a Strong Family history can have a simple blood test or saliva test. That will tell them if theyre in this high risk category of getting Breast Cancer. Its called the brca gene. If they show the mutation, they have an 85 percent chance of getting Breast Cancer. They might make different choices as far as screening and treatment because of the high risk. Ernie its very good. From your experience, too, im sure you have many stories about survivors, the type of treatment theyve had. Share at least one of them with us tonight. Patients generally do very well if they find the Breast Cancer early. And so a woman who perhaps had a mother who had Breast Cancer young and goes to get her a mammogram, younger than she might have ordinarily, finds a tiny little spot, the very earliest treatable Breast Cancer and shell do fine. Every day of her life by finding that tiny spot. Ernie so important. Thank you for being here and talking about Breast Cancer awareness month, which were discussing all week long on fox 5. Thanks for being here. Thank you. Ernie good information. By the way, remember, well continue our Breast Cancer week tomorrow with a personal story of survival and how some women at high risk are taking preemptive measures. Thursday, the latest break through in treatments and their potential impacts. Lets talk about the other stories making headlines. After a 15month investigation, dutch investigators announced today that Malaysia Airlines flight 17 crashed as a result of being hit by a missile in ukraine. Investigators say the ukrainian authorities knew the aircrafts flying above were at risk. However, ukraine defends its decision not to close its air space. An arrest in a deadly shooting outside a manhattan nightclub. Police say 26yearold dalone smack jamison knew the victim, walikque faussett, and posted a she was shot dead in the yesterday morning. Police say he was angry about being kicked out of the club. An Upper East Side woman lost her lawsuit against her 12yearold nephew.

According to connecticut post, it took a jury 20 minutes to deny her claim. And thats whats happening in the news right now. Heres nick with a preview of the weather. Whats it look like . Nick like a pretty nice couple of days. A few isolated showers in the forecast early tonight. That should not affect the metsdodgers game. The coldest air of the season is starting to appear on the weather map. Ill tell you when it comes our way, too. Ernie all right. Well be talking about the big debate coming up tonight. Yes, its going to happen in las vegas. Youll see Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders going at it with well have a special report coming up after the break. Im michael douglas, and new york is my home. Theres no place like it in the world. And theres no time to see it like the fall. Take metro north to take in the beautiful fall foliage from high above the hudson.

Get out of the past. Get fios. Ernie nick gregory is joining us now. You were telling me about spending time in New Hampshire and the foliage up there is beautiful. Nick its beautiful. We were in northern New Hampshire, central and northern New Hampshire. The colors are running a little late because of the dry season and the drought in the summertime. Theyre running one to two weeks late. Ernie working its way down. Nick its coming down. The colors were spectacular. Youre starting to see our northern suburbs, some good pockets appearing. Ernie we have some nice weather, too. Nick great weather. Well be talking today being another 70degree plus day. Its great. Well keep that going, the nice weather, with a little cooldown tomorrow into wednesday. Weve got to watch the radar radarscope tonight for the game. I think theyll be fine. 87 the record high. 33 the record low. That was back in the 1800s. Of an inch of rain. We have and sun and clouds. The pressure is on the rise. Were right about approaching sunset time shortly. 72 for the high in the city. 73 at the shore. Low 70s most of long island as well. Didnt get out of the 60s at sussex and monticello. Were cooling it down, but we have mild temperatures, hanging on to the 70degree mark in belmar and newark. Upper 60s city eastward. 66 poughkeepsie. 59 in monticello. These showers come with a weak cool front. The westsouthwest wind is in play. It will be a westerly wind tonight and a west wind tomorrow at 10 to 15 miles an hour. A couple of isolated showers. Weve been watching them meander around sussex county. A few by philadelphia and trenton. Thats about it. Well take the wide view on fox 5 sky guardian 3d. This cluster has gone off to the north. Well see how much of this survives. I dont think well see much in the area this evening. Shouldnt affect the metsdodgers game. Game 4 tonight. Them off and get it over with. It will be temperatures in the middle 60s to start the game and probably ending up in the lower 60s for the late inning. We should be okay there. As we look at the satellite and radar composite, you can see the same picture, some clouds out there with a couple of showers. Theyre going to go away. The cold front will continue to move along. Heres tomorrows weather. A combination of sun and clouds. Slightly above average. Theres a cool front looming in here. That will make its move towards us late in the week. Maybe a few showers on friday. And after that front passes, then we get the coldest air of the season in here as we head into the weekend. Upper 50s out the door in the city. Closer to 50 in the burbs. 69 the high tomorrow afternoon. Again, still just a touch above average. There goes the front moving along. Theres our decent weather tomorrow. Heres thursdays weather. Beautiful, sunny. Still in the middle 60s. This front is what ill be talking about arriving with a couple of showers on friday. Weekend. Tonight, clouds will be out there and well stay around 58 by tomorrow morning in the city. 48 to 44 in the suburbs. Tomorrow, decent, sun and clouds, mid and upper 60s. We can enjoy that. Thursday, bright and sunny at 65. Here comes the front with a couple of showers friday. 67 morning low. In the 50s. Big change for the weekend. Breezy on saturday. A goodlooking day, but the wind will put a chill in the air. Only 57 for the high. Sunday, a high of 52. 38 in the city. 20 in the suburbs. Thats when youll see frost and freeze conditions for probably a lot of the suburbs. Same thing monday morning. Back to 56 monday afternoon. And 60 as we head into tuesday. Goodlooking days. Ernie thank you. Were looking forward to it. We have a special guest we want to talk about. Its all about politics. In a few hours, the democrats will square off in las vegas in the first debate of the political season. Frontrunner Hillary Clinton will berne Bernie Sanders, jim webb and lincoln chaffee. Analysts say clinton may have to defend her changing positions on a few major issues. Listen. Every major issue she has shifted. Its why the base of the democratic party, they kind of her. Ernie even though hes not in the debate, a podium is on a standby just in case Vice President joe biden decides to announce his candidacy just before the show tonight. Joining me now is David Birdsell dean of Baruch College school of affairs. They have a podium waiting for him. Whats that story about . They so desperately want people to watch for something electric and surprising to happen. But i think we can pretty well guarantee joe biden wont be on the stage tonight. Ernie you know, we have a smaller field of candidates tonight. Is that better for the debate . What do you think . Its certainly better to get a sense of what each of the individuals wants to accomplish. When you have the enormous field with the republicans, its hard for any one person, unless his name is trump, to command the camera and get policy ideas out. So if you want to get the voters to know you, smaller is better. Ernie okay. Okay. Its about hillary and bernie. What do you expect shes going to do . Everybody has so much pressure on her. She has to talk about the issues. She has to decide what shes going to say and how its going to impact the voters. What do you think . Remember, shes a very accomplished debater. They had dozens of debates in 2008. Shes been in this called ca luchlt ca. How does she excite the electorate . She has to show theres something to wait for. Ernie she and bernie have to be careful. Theyre appealing to the same base. Theyll be polite, but with sharp comments. Theyre at different ends of the party base. At the end of the day, they need the others voters to succeed in a general election. In order to get over the top for the primary, and become the partys nominee. But we have three undercard debaters. They have to struggle for awareness. They have to introduce themselves to the american people. Some of them have occupied National Platforms before. All of them have, either in the senate or point of office, National Platforms. But they have to show people theres a meaningful difference between what they present and what the top two present. Thats going to be a challenge. Ernie im going back for a moment. Biden, will he be a factor . Do you think hell run . Whats the delay . What is it . Well, i think theres genuine concern that he expressed openly about his mental readiness in the wake of his sons death. But past that, a lot of people think hes really angling for this. Hes wanted this for decade. My personal sense is hes waiting to see what happens. If Hillary Clinton comes out with a strong performance, the overlap between her voters and his very tight. Ernie thank you so much for joining us. Come back again soon. Lots more coming up, including my question of the day for you. Watch this one. Do you know your i. Q. And do you care . Ernie is it important to you . I hit the streets today to find out. But first, russ will join us next from citi field with the amazing mets. Ava and i needed a little vacay.

And theyre a win away from moving on to the National League championship series. Russ is at citi field. What an amazing what a nice way to answer back, russ, right . Russ let me tell you, amazing is their nickname. Amazing was the word. Ernie, 20 runs were scored last night, 13 by the mets in the 137 victory. I wasnt sure 20 runs would be scored in the entire series let alone in one game. It was shocking to me. They fall behind 3nothing. They come back. Grander son son with the threerun double. He had five runs batted in. You get travis with the two run homer. It was just it was awe inspiring. From a mets fans perspective, they way they rebounded and didnt get into the retaliation, which a lot of people were worried about, i thought it was a great job. Ernie do you expect the offensive barrage to carry over tonight . Russ no. No. Quite frankly, id be shocked if it carried over. We saw another forget 20 runs. Ill be shocked if we see 10 runs tonight. Youre talking about pitching for its a close out game for the mets. But its a close out game for if they lose, their season is over. Theyre throwing the best of the best, clayton kershaw. So, you know, its all or nothing at all for them. The mets, should they lose, they get another chance, a game 5, which would be thursday. But in l. A. As far as who his mount opponent is, the kid from long island, skipper terry collins, i got to tell you, listen to him, is very confident about his situation. Were hoping that steven goes out there and pitches like he knows how. Heres a local kid going out there and, you know, pitching for the team he, you know, grew up watching. Its going to be a real cool scenario, especially if he pitches great. It will be a fun night. Ernie we know that closeout game is the hardest to win. Russ without question. Think about that. Who are they putting the ball in the hands of . A local kid who grew up wanting to be a met. Thats just an unbelievable story. But its all about tonight. I mean, again, a close outgame. I dont care what sport it is, its the toughest thing to do because youre playing against a team. All those players are desperate. They know if they lose tonight, the dodgers, their season is over. You know what . Should they lose, it could very well be the final game for Don Mattingly as skipper. Theres a lot riding at stake. Ernie lets take a look and see what happens. Go mets, as we say. Thank you, russ. Russ without question. Ernie see you tonight. Bob menendez is promising a federal look at the daily sports fantasy games you keep hearing about.
