Sylvie,
Thanks for putting this blog together. The more info out there about breast cancer the better. This is a subject that I feel very passionately about as I face it everyday.
Please also take a moment to consider posting something about breast reconstruction surgery.
Unfortunately many women are made to feel that reconstruction is an "after thought"... a cosmetic procedure for the vain. This could not be further from the truth. Breast reconstruction is not a cosmetic procedure... it is every woman's right.
Best wishes to you and please keep posting!
