Angie you look great in the video. I don't know if you remember but we met in the pre-op waiting area. I was having surgery with Dr. Ledoux that same day. So glad everything has gone so well for you.

Sherry Callaway Sherry! Yes, I remember you! Mostly remember the other ladies staring at us that weren't there for reconstruction! I think they thought we were rock stars to go through what we had! I hope you are doing well!

[@deanamurphy9007]

about to have mine in September. this made me feel less nervous thank you xx

[@jasonandangie5062]

Deana Murphy Excited for you! It was such an amazing surgery!

[@Coopdizzle]

In tears. I am penciled in to get mine done July 30th. It will be at Scott and White. I sooooooo wish I could go to PRMA. At least this place shows results. Nothing with S&W. Makes me nervous.

Coopdizzle I would suggest asking for before and after results at the time of your consultation. They may also have patients you can contact to hear their experience. Let us know if we can help in any way!

[@jasonandangie5062]

Coopdizzle I encourage you to make sure you are happy with your choice! I was originally scheduled elsewhere and PRMA was a dream as well! One phone call is all it took and the miles seemed to disappear! I just had stage 2 and can't be happier! Felt like I was leaving surgeons I had spent months with!! Best of luck!

***** At this point it may not matter. Last week they found 2 lymph nodes in my chest and lesions all along my diaphragm. I had to get a chest biopsy yesterday. Those are painful. If it's positive then I'm stage 4 and won't be getting recon done. I am heart broken. Not even 6 months after ending radiation. Stupid cancer.

***** I just posted a video talking about this one. So much worse when they go through the neck. Hope I never have to do that again

[@jasonandangie5062]

Coopdizzle Bless your heart! I watched it!!! I still think they hit my lung when I had the breast biopsy so I can't even imagine what you went through! Remember you are stronger than you think you are! Still praying for good results!
