Being diagnosed with breast cancer is scary. And being single made it even harder. Having a double mastectomy isn't exactly something you'd think is good for the dating life.

She was very compassionate with me at every turn and even called me personally to answer a question I had before the surgery. She made good decisions for my surgery and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone because she...
