April made 1 year since my stage 2 surgery. Dr, Trahan was my doctor. He was awesome and so was everyone at The Center and at St. Charles Surgical Hospital. They made a bad thing into a good thing. They were all so supportive . I am so thankful to everyone at The Center from the receptionist to all the nursing staff and the doctors. I tell everyone about the wonderful and caring staff. They are truly a gift from God. I thank God everyday for leading me to them.
"I had a doctors appointment today, they were, how can I say, AMAZED at my new nipple. I have one of my "own" and one created by Dr. D. The doctor came in about 2 inches away, was pushing, touching, COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. She said, “That is the best nipple I have ever seen...!!!” It is moments like this that I am so very glad I went all out and went to NOLA. Well, every day I am glad really, I feel so RESTORED!"
"I have learned so much since being diagnosed with breast cancer. It seems I spent four months crying and frantically researching the Internet looking for answers since the information I was given seemed so inadequate. I know God led me to your website and ultimately to The Center. A place where I could find something that was right for me."
"Due to circumstances I traveled from Montana to New Orleans alone for the procedure. I never felt alone. Everyone made me feel at home. I never felt scared. This was my 4th surgery and you would think by far the most traumatic. Instead it was the most peaceful. I felt safe and knew what would take place. I trusted that everyone understood my needs and would do what was best for me. I had not felt that way ever since my diagnosis."
"Surgery was on March 4th. On the 5th I was walking the hall in the ICU. There was very little discomfort. On March 6th I went back to McFarland, walked a mile and rode the trolley. On the 9th I had oysters and a Mango Daiquiri for breakfast. From the 6th on, I never missed a day riding the trolley to the French Quarter. On April 24th I'll be running a 10k race."
"I have shown my new breast to more people than I can count and they're all amazed at the wonderful new beginning. Many of them have seen the results of breast cancer before. My husband says the same thing, "You can't tell." I know he would have said that no matter what, but the difference is I know it's true."
