Opinion: CMS must protect access to the ‘gold standard of breast reconstruction’
Breast reconstruction is a deeply personal issue, and patients should be able to make the best choice for them.
In 1983, I flew home from college to be with my mother as she woke up from a mastectomy. She opted out of breast reconstruction, choosing to “go flat” instead.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017 and had bilateral mastectomies, I had more reconstruction options than my mother did.
