Albany -- More than two dozen breast cancer survivors, dressed in pink, gathered at the annual "Tea for Two" "Pretty in Pink" celebration at the Shackleford House in Albany. The annual event brings breast cancer survivors together to share their stories and celebrate life.

"Early detection is very important and being a survivor I never thought I was going to be in this group. I would like people to know you can survive. I'm a 4 year survivor," says  Lynette Dilbert.

This the is the 4th year of the Tea for Two event which is sponsored by Phoebe Putney, the American Cancer Society and the Health Department.
