After 33 sessions of chemotherapy, Suzie make the decision to undergo breast reconstruction with Dr. Duncan Miles. Below is her breast cancer journey.
"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of 2012. I began treatment with six sessions of chemo. The side effects got progressively worse with each session. Chemo was followed by surgery. The surgery revealed much more extensive tumor than was first expected. I had 15 lymph nodes removed in addition to the radical mastectomy. I had 33 sessions of radiation. It took many months to regain energy and achieve healing. 2 years after the completion of all my treatments I was given clearance to see Dr. Miles for my reconstruction. We decided on the DIEP procedure followed by surgery on my other breast to achieve symmetry. I am currently healing from the DIEP surgery. Dr. Miles and his staff are very thorough, professional and compassionate. I am thankful for them. They have been highly recommended by personal friends and professionals."
