ARTICLE BY RITA BANIK IN CANCER AWAKENS

http://www.cancerawakens.com/blog/2011/12/regaining-my-identity-after-breast-cancer-part-1/

My article in Cancer Awakens on Reconstruction is not merely about looks.  It may not be easy to comprehend the psychological trauma a woman undergoes after mastectomy.  The article narrates only a few emotional nuances that I went through during that period, before finally deciding to go for Reconstruction Surgery.  It was not an easy decision to make.  I would like to emphasize that this thought about your loss has nothing to do with age.  Mastectomy is difficult for any woman to handle at any age.

  1. Such a moving article :_( . Refreshing to know you are more concerned about your looks rather than worry about the health consequences... specially at your age... You must have a nice and supportive family that you 'love'.
