Ayer es historia y Dios siempre tiene su plan…
Some people think I was crazy for flying all the way from Virginia to Texas for my breast reconstruction.
Just a small note to thank Dr. Oscar Ochoa and his staff for making my surgery and healing process so easy! Everyone was always so kind to me and my family during this great adventure!
I came to PRMA seeking delayed reconstruction following chemotherapy, bilateral mastectomy and 33 radiation treatments. As a consequence of my treatments and the loss of 27 lymph nodes, I spent significant effort managing the early stages of lymphedema.
A week after I turned 41, I want into the hospital for a bilateral mastectomy with lymph node biopsy and reconstruction.
On September 4, 2012, I underwent the DIEP Flap reconstruction. The results are better than I’d expected. I feel good about myself, especially knowing that it’s all me. No artificial implants. I like to say that PRMA gave me back what Cancer stole from me.
So here I am, post surgery and all is looking good. I am thankful to PRMA, because you gave me a choice. I can now have the body I want and I’ve been trying to get that word out not only about DIEP flap but also about PRMA. PRMA has the training and expertise to help women have the choice as to what type of reconstruction they want. I think that is important when all of us facing these options did not have a choice in getting cancer.
