Good morning:
My daughter Monica was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. She is planning
to have a bi-lateral mascetomy. She is leaning towards having the TRAM as
reconstruction. Her biggest concern is the length of the surgery as well as the
length of recoperation.
Monica is 33 years of age. Her surgeon is Dr. Lisa Sclafani. The plastic surgeon
has not been determained.
Will you kindly share.....
Thank you so much!
Kathy(MOM)
