Last month, the US Food and Drug Administration has lifted the 14-year ban on silicone-gel implants. I'm sure that people in the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery industry like the Albany plastic surgeons are happy about this news. So what's my take on silicone-gel implants? I'd say I'm pro if they will be used for reconstruction in women who needed them after surgery, especially after breast cancer.
I know of a breast cancer survivor who is now contemplating on having a breast reconstruction. She told me she wants it because it is something that she thinks would bring back her lost self-confidence. She said she is so much blessed, having survived the killer disease. But the reality that she lost her breasts to mastectomy still pains her. I hope breast reconstruction would indeed bring back her self-confidence. And I'm praying that it's really, really safe.

Hi Bea!
Musta na pala yung teacher mo ng may breast cancer? My teacher is done with her chemotherapy and radiation. She’s even back to teaching in school.
