In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, two women will share their stories of surviving the devastating disease.

On Wednesday, comedian Jane Hill will discuss the important physical and psychological roles of laughter in the healing process.

There will be a physician-moderated answer session following the address.

The program will be at the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center auditorium, 501 S. Buena Vista St., Burbank.

On Oct. 30, Christine Clifford, president and CEO of The Cancer Club and author of ``Not Now, I'm Having a No Hair Day,'' will discuss her story as a survivor.
