"Remember what we are doing in the reconstruction of the female breast is by no means a cosmetic triumph. What we are aiming for is to allow women to look decent in clothes. The aim is for the patient to look normal and natural when she has clothes on her body." Dr. Stephen Gallegher	© 1992, Hollis Sigler
I used to pretend this never happened. But the disease won't go away. I live with it everyday. My silence has victimized me. My silence has left me powerless. Without my voice fear, I can speak about breast cancer and other diseases of women.
