A True Gem

WORTH IT
April of last year I had a nipple sparing prophylactic bilateral mastectomy. The process was hard and at times emotionally draining, but having Dr Butler and his team by my side made things that much easier. The process of reconstruction is ongoing, but worth it.
Why do I consider Dr Butler a gem?
1) During this process I lost my Aunt to breast cancer and Dr Butler was empathetic and emotionally supportive.
2) Everytime my little one had a question he would patiently answer her. His interaction with her was genuine. (Triple bonus points). Putting up with my husband (golden bonus points).
3) When I was in PACU in severe pain post mastectomy he addressed it properly and within a timely manner.
4) Dr Butler not only cares about your physical recovery, but also your emotional recovery.
5) I have had three procedures throughout this process and not one infection. (Bonus points)
My breast look natural and at thirty-eight years old, if I had to do it again to prevent breast cancer I would do it all over again a million times with Dr. Butler.
Tabitha and Jess are amazing and compassionate as well.
As a multiracial woman, I felt acknowledged and sincerely cared for.
Thank you Dr Butler and staff!

Thank u for sharing your courageous journey. I will be doing the exact same as you in about 1 week.
May I ask, where are your scars? I'm getting expanders after all tissue is removed and I'm kinda freaked out about having a scar across the entire boob as a reminder.
