Embracing the Scars of Breast Cancer Survival
In this episode, we pick up where we left off in episode 4. Amber and Ryan attend a reception for a photography exhibition and book launch for RECONSTRUCTED. The book features a series of photographs and interviews with women of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds, all of whom are breast cancer survivors who have undergone breast reconstruction surgery - and have the scars to prove it.
In this episode, you'll meet Chelsey, a 34-year old breast cancer survivor who feels blessed to be alive. You'll also meet Sherrie, a woman in her 70's who discovered that she was a carrier of the BRACA gene and prophylactically removed her breasts - along with her 34-year old daughter.
