I am a cancer survivor times two: brain cancer and breast cancer.
I marvel at the "medical artistry" of the reconstructive surgeon who was able to restore my face after the damaging effects of estheoblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer. The cancer destroyed my forehead bone, bone around the eyes, and nose. One third of my face is prosthetic.
Last spring, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy in July. Next month, I am scheduled for reconstructive surgery. Twelve weeks of chemotherapy behind me, five years of aromatase inhibitor medication ahead of me, I am aiming for the cure.
