CENTER A FEW YEARS BACK. REPORTING ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE KIM DEGUILIO LOCAL FORM. ALL
RIGHT. THANK YOU, KIM. WELL, IT
IS A FEATURE ON THE MOST PEOPLE
DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT NEW
TONIGHT HOW THE PHONE SENT AN
ALERT POLICE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION AND
WHY THE STATE OF KENTUCKY SAYS
YOU SHOULDN’T BE ALARMED. IF YOU
SEE MONSTERS IN THE WOODS PLUS
KATIE COURIC SAYS IT WAS KEY IN
DETECTING HER BREAST CANCER
EARLY, BUT MANY WOMEN ARE NOT
GETTING THIS TEST OR EVEN THOUGH
THEY NEED IT COMING UP. KATIE
OPENS UP ABOUT HER NEW MISSION
TO HELP SAVE LIVES. HOW MANY
KIDS ARE MISSING SCHOOL IN
DETROIT, THIS SCHOOL 64% OF OUR
STUDENTS RIGHT NOW ARE STILL
CHRONICALLY ABSENT THERE, NOT
THE EXCEPTION. CAN’T TEACH
CHILDREN AT THE HIGH LEVEL IF
THEY’RE NOT AT SCHOOL EVERY DAY,
KIMBERLY GILL SITS DOWN WITH ONE
OF THE MANY PASSIONATE
DETROITERS ON A MISSION TO FILL
THOSE EMPTY DESKS. WHERE ARE
THEY? WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THEM?
WHERE ARE THE KIDS? TOMORROW AT
FIVE ON LOCAL 4 NEWS. JEOPARDY
THIS FALL, THE FIRST EVER SECOND
CHANCE COMPETITION, THEN THE
BIGGEST TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
Tom Barrett knows that his extremist stance on abortion is
not what Michigan wants. That’s why he’s trying to hide it
from us. He’s made it clear he doesn’t support our right
to an abortion. Even in the case of rape or incest, or when our
lives depend on it. But he knows his extremist views don’t align
with Michigan values so his campaign removed it from his
website. But we know where Tom Barrett stands... No matter
how hard he tries to hide it. D-C-C-C is responsible for the
content of this advertising.
We‘re moving fast
and we‘ve got the results to prove it.
Remember these days?
We said we‘d deliver services within thirty minutes.
Now most visits are twenty minutes or less.
We‘ve got self service stations in grocery stores.
And more options online.
And more convenient ways to vote.
Elections that are secure, free and fair.
It‘s about real results and making every voice heard.
Republican, Democrat and Independent.
Because government should work for everyone.
But I ran for Congress because of what happened at her worst.
I’m Elissa Slotkin, and when cancer hit,
she couldn’t afford her bills.
So it was a full circle moment in Congress
when we capped the amount seniors pay for drugs
and finally allowed Medicare to negotiate lower prices.
I approved this message for my mom...
She’s why I ran then,
and she is why I fight now.
LIVE AT SIX O’CLOCK. A LOCAL MAN WE MET LAST WEEK. HE HAS A HOME FOR SALE IN FORT MYERS. HE
WATCHED ON HIS DOORBELL CAMERA
AS HURRICANE IN CAME IN. WELL,
HE DIDN’T HESITATE. HE LOADED UP
HIS TRUCK. HE IS IN HIS OLD
NEIGHBORHOOD NOW HELPING
NEIGHBORS WILL HEAR FROM HIM AND
ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AND WHAT’S
REALLY SURPRISING TO HIM LIVE AT
SIX. AFTER LOSING HER HUSBAND TO
COLON CANCER, KATY KIRK
SINGLEHANDEDLY RAISED THE
NATION’S AWARENESS ABOUT THE
DISEASE, EVEN SHOWING HER OWN
COLONOSCOPY ON TV YEARS AND
YEARS AGO, AND NOW KATIE COURIC
IS HOPING HER OWN BREAST CANCER
DIAGNOSIS CAN HELP MAKE WOMEN
AWARE THAT MAMMOGRAMS ALONE MAY
NOT BE ENOUGH TO DETECT SOME
CANCERS. SHE OPENED UP ABOUT HER
NEW MISSION THIS MORNING ON THE
TODAY SHOW. IT WAS KEY TO GET A
BREAST ULTRASOUND TO CONFIRM
THAT I HAD A TUMOR THAT NEEDED
TO BE BIOPSIED. AND A LOT OF
WOMEN DON’T KNOW THIS. MICHIGAN
IS ONE OF 38 STATES SHOWN IN
PINK THAT REQUIRE WOMEN TO BE
NOTIFIED IF A MAMMOGRAM FINDS
THEY HAVE DENSE BREAST TISSUE,
COURIC SAYS NOTIFICATION ALONE
IS NOT ENOUGH INDICATED ON A
MAMMOGRAM. YOU HAVE TO ASK YOUR
RADIOLOGIST RADIOLOGIST IDEALLY
SHOULD BE TELLING YOU YOU HAVE
DENSE BREASTS AND THEN YOU OFTEN
NEED SECONDARY SCREENING. SO MY
RADIOLOGIST COMPARED IT TO
TRYING TO FIND SNOWBALLS IN A
FIELD OF SNOW. THAT’S BECAUSE
DENSE BREAST TISSUE APPEARS
WHITE ON A MAMMOGRAM, AND SO
DOES CANCER. ADDITIONAL
SCREENING WITH MRI OR ULTRASOUND
CAN SPOT CANCER’S A MAMMOGRAM.
COMMIS MICHIGAN IS NOT AMONG THE
14 STATES THAT REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL SCREENING TO BE
COVERED BY INSURANCE, WORKING
WITH CONGRESSMAN ROSA DOLOROSA
OF CONNECTICUT. KIT, AND SHE’S
INTRODUCING LEGISLATION. THIS
MONTH THAT WOULD REQUIRE
INSURANCE COMPANIES TO COVER.
NO, NO, YOU KNOW, COST ON THE
PATIENT. BREAST ULTRASOUNDS FOR
WOMEN WHO HAVE DENSE BREASTS
BECAUSE IT’S CRIMINAL. ALL THESE
BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS WOULD
HAPPEN MUCH EARLIER, IS GRATEFUL
HER CANCER WAS CAUGHT EARLY AND
COULD BE TREATED WITH A
LUMPECTOMY AND RADIATION. SHE’S
NOW FIGHTING TO MAKE SURE OTHER
WOMEN HAVE THAT SAME CHANCE.
JUST WANT TO SHARE WHAT I’VE
LEARNED WITH OTHER WOMEN AND
HOPEFULLY KEEP THEM HEALTHY AND
HAPPY. 40% OF WOMEN HAVE DENSE
BREAST TISSUE AND MAY BENEFIT
FROM THAT ADDITIONAL SCREENING,
URGES ALL WOMEN WHO ARE OVERDUE
FOR A MAMMOGRAM TO GO AHEAD AND
