Join us this week as Dr. Barrett speaks with Alessandra, Director of Operations at Barrett Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills.  Alessandra shares her very personal story of her own battle with breast cancer. Alessandra was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer after discovering she had the breast cancer gene BRCA2. She subsequently underwent bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction.        .  

1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and if your number comes up someday, you’ll want to go in armed with information and inspiring stories, direct from the survivors. Life can be busy and family may live far away which forces us to face some of these things alone at times and Alessandra had to.  On the flip side, hear how family support plays a huge role standing by your side during the big ones. From huge needles and surgeries, to the discomfort of constantly having your body touched all a sudden, Alessandra discusses it all and comes out of it with the motto and tattoo “I Trust Life” 

Tune in to this episode to catch Alessandra’s incredible story and learn more about breast cancer awareness.

5% of surgeon fees for breast surgeries booked in the month of October is being donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. www.BCRF.org
