Ten years ago, on December 1, 2014, I was in the trusted hands of a skilled microsurgeon who took tissue from my tummy area along with the skin and blood vessels, and rebuilt what cancer had taken away from me. I lost my breasts to a double mastectomy. For those of us who have been affected by breast cancer, a mastectomy is an amputation. The skilled microsurgeon is my guest on this episode of the DiepCJourney podcast.
Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo, president of PRMA in San Antonio, Texas, reconstructed my breasts using the training, skill, and compassion that makes him who he is as a breast reconstruction surgeon and is one of the finest human beings I know.
This podcast is a celebration of our work together over the past ten years and the work we will continue to do for the breast cancer community.
This podcast is about mentorship, past, present, and future. Join us as we take a walk down memory lane to hear about his own journey becoming who he is today and those who inspired him to chose microsurgery. If you have been in plastic surgery for any time, many of the names he mentions as his own mentors will be familiar to you.
This interview is quiet, thoughtful, and a couple of times catches me off guard emotionally with a mentor and friend. Thank you for listening with us.
