breast reconstruction?

[sarastruthers33]

I was recently diagnosed with a malignant tumor in my segmental lymph node, and most likely will have to undergo therapy.  Does anyone know any breast reconstruction places? I know of thisbreast reconstruction site, but does anyone know any others? Thanks!

I flew into New Orleans for about 150 bucks round trip. Because I was a cancer patient I stayed at the American cancer society's HOPE LODGE for free. The doctors had a limousine pick me up for all appointments and for the day of surgery.

I had Aetna insurance so they found me to be in NETWORK which made it wonderful for me, just the amount I'd pay for my "out of pocket" took care of the rest of all my surgeries that calendar year.

They were and still are wonderful to me.

Best wishes to you.

You might check out this surgeon, who is frequently recommended by one of our members who was highly satisfied with his work:

Dr. Frank DellaCroce in New Orleans, www.breastcenter.com

He is known for his excellent tissue transfer reconstructions and his corrections of other doctors botched reconstructions.

Best wishes...
