Breast Reconstruction
To Dr. Matthew Smith,
It's hard to even express what went through my mind when I was told I had invasive ductile carcinoma, breast cancer stage 1. Breast cancer runs in my family. At the age of forty-five, a mammogram detected my cancer. I was referred to Dr. Matthew Smith by my general surgeon who thought I should talk to him about breast reconstruction. I walked into Dr. Smith's office confused, in denial and shocked that this could be happening to me. What I discovered was an awesome staff and I immediately felt comfortable. Dr. Smith was informative and answered all my questions. I liked his personality from the start and I appreciated the fact he has a great sense of humor. I would never want to present a disillusion about breast reconstruction. Breast reconstruction was time restraining, uncomfortable and emotionally draining. However, my final results exceeded any expectations. I'm confident and so happy with the new me. I would encourage any women going through this to be her own advocate and educate herself. Dr. Matthew Smith is a wonderful surgeon and person. It's been a long road and not easy but I will be forever grateful!!
