52 Yrs Old , Double Mastectomy , Early Stage Breast Cancer

I have been monitored very closely for breast cancer for the past 15 years due to a strong family history. ( one of my sisters lost her battle with stage 4 breast cancer at the age of 53 ) So, when my doctor told me I had early stage breast cancer and I needed a lumpectomy I did not hesitate to say I wanted a double mastectomy . Within 4 days I found myself sitting in Dr. Hoys office very nervous , anxious, and confused. From the moment I met Dr. Hoy he put me at ease! He is very genuine and caring . He explains everything slowly and is very thorough. He never made me feel rushed . He makes you feel like you are his only priority during your appointment . I also have ulcerative colitis and Dr. Hoy was very concerned about this . He was more concerned than my gastroenterologist was that I could get an infection after the surgery due to my UC medication. Dr. Hoy actually called me himself a few days after my first appointment just to be sure I was doing OK and that I wasn't getting too anxious about waiting for a surgery date . Most importantly Dr. Hoy is an expert in his field. He explained all my different options for implants in detail and answered any questions I had. Dr. Hoy suggested that I have the expanders put in immediately after my double mastectomy surgery . This was to help prevent infections and because I was small ( 32A ) and wanted to go bigger. With all my follow-up visits Dr. Hoy was so careful in making sure that I never got an infection . I had my second surgery 3 months later to have the expanders taken out and my implants put it. I had the tear drop shaped implants that Dr. Hoy reccomended. I also had some fat transfered from my inner thigh and put on top of the implant to help it blend better in my chest bone area. Once again Dr. Hoy did a phenomenal job and took great care of me during surgery and with all my follow-up visits. I am very happy with my results.my husband came to all these Drs. Appointments with me and he too was very impressed with Dr. Hoy . The staff in his office are all very professional and friendly as well. I truly feel that my experience with breast cancer was less daunting due to the great care I received from Dr. Hoy .
