Circle of Love holds Celebration of Life ceremony

On May 10 from 1 to 2:30 p.m., a Circle of Love Ice Cream Social Celebration of Life was held at Dr. Sood’s office in memory of the group’s first oncologist, Dr. K. Damania at 417 Central Ave. in Dunkirk. In 1990, Dr. Damania sponsored Josie Costa Christopher, LPN. Since then, Christopher became a Board Certified Fitter to provide Dr. Damania’s post-mastectomy patients with prosthesis, bras, wigs, turbans and start a breast cancer support group. All that was achieved and more.

“I’m humbled and blessed with the experience. I never dreamed I would last this long. When I already had two other jobs, full time at Brooks Hospital and Dr. Cracium’s diet program,” said Christopher.

“Of course, to date, I can only say a ‘million’ thanks to the ‘heart beat’ of the COL, for without their support this would not be happening,” Christopher added.

Appreciation was expressed to Dr. Sood for continuing the compassionate oncology care originally established by Dr. Damania.
