HOW BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS CAN GIVE THEMSELVES THE ULTIMATE GIFT THIS CHRISTMAS
This month is all about increasing breast cancer awareness, but for those women who have defeated the Big C, the next step after a mastectomy is often breast reconstruction. For many women, a mastectomy is one of the final steps in beating breast cancer. But even with breast cancer gone, women are often left feeling scarred after the procedure with a constant reminder of what they have fought so hard to overcome. October 16th was the 2nd annual Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day (BRA Day). The goal of the initiative is to help inform breast cancer survivors of their options regarding breast reconstruction following a mastectomy.
