One in 9 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. More than half of those women undergo mastectomy — the removal of one or both breasts.
Ron Israeli, MD, a plastic surgeon in Great Neck, NY, is regarded as a leading specialist in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. His practice focuses on treating patients holistically through an in-house Patient Empowerment Program led by Clinical Director Mollie Sugarman.
As an extension of his holistic approach, Dr. Israeli recently began a life cast project with some of his patients. He created life casts of six of his patients -- five of them post-reconstruction and one post-mastectomy. Israeli views the life cast process as another step in the journey that provides a space where women can express emotions they harbor from their experience.
Lucienne Colombo tells the story of one patient's experience from diagnosis through seeing her life cast for the first time.
