They let me loose with the media again....so of course I used that as an opportunity to talk about how important I believe it is for women to be offered a choice when it comes to breast reconstruction.
With a diagnosis of cancer or the high risk threat, we are fortunate to have the options we do to either reconstruct or not. The article appears in the May issue of the Australian Woman's Weekly https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx-VPjOola_2OHp3YVVoMzZkYWM/edit Our very own Sam Taylor is featured in this recent story related to hospital waiting times, public v private and crippling costs for breast reconstruction. Sam Taylor's children were just 6 and 14 when she was asked to make a choice no woman ever wants to make. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in May last year, Taylor tested positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation that greatly increases the lifetime risk of developing cancer.  |
