Patient Testimonial
January 13, 2009 Cathy Golden discusses her choice of the new breast cancer treatment option DIEP reconstructive surgery (deep inferior epigastric perforators) with the H.E.R. (Help, Enlightenment, and Resources) program of Corvallis program. Cathy traveled from Oregon to New Orleans to have the procedure done. Thank you Cathy for sharing your story! |

"Due to circumstances I traveled from Montana to New Orleans alone for the procedure. I never felt alone. Everyone..."
"Surgery was on March 4. On the 5th I was walking the hall in the ICU. There was very little discomfort..."
