This BRCA2 patient wanted to take control of her health. She underwent preventative mastectomy, performed by Dr. Leslie Memsic of Bedford Breast Center, and one-stage breast reconstruction by plastic surgeon Dr. Lisa Cassileth.
We sat down with Monica one-week before her surgery to discuss why she decided to undergo this procedure and how she hopes that it will impact her life.
