Breast cancer is the leading cancer affecting American women. Almost any woman who loses her breast to cancer can have it rebuilt through plastic surgery. This breast reconstruction blog was created to introduce women to the array of reconstructive procedures available. I shall be posting relevant articles periodically but more importantly, I encourage women who have faced this ordeal to share any experiences that may help others following in their footsteps.
