It's almost the middle of October and we're still celebrating strong our breast cancer survivors this month. Below is another story of strength, support and blessings from Heidi:
"At the age of 32 I was diagnosed with stage 3 B ductal carcinoma. It was a triple negative cancer and had spread to my lymph nodes. It was very aggressive and my tumor double in size in two weeks. The Dr. gave me a 60% chance to live 5 years. Yikes....it was extremely scary to say the least!!!

Thankfully I have an incredible family and wonderful friends who gave me the love and support I needed to make it through. And I CANNOT IMAGINE GOING THROUGH THAT WHATOUT THEM!!! I also had a great Dr. and very aggressive treatment and I am happy to report I have been in remission for the last 15 years!!!! WOOHOOO!!!
I wanted to celebrate this big 15 year milestone with breast reconstructive surgery. I researched and visited many Drs. One of the Drs. I visited refused to operate on me because of the side effects from my cancer treatment, but instead referred me to Dr. Miles. WHAT A BLESSING!! He is the best! I instantly knew I wanted him to be my Dr. I felt so much love and confidence every time I went to his office. Dr. Miles and his entire staff are amazing! They are so kind, caring and compassionate! I truly was sad to leave when my last appointment came, they were great friends to me! AND for the first time in 15 years I feel whole again!!!"
