In today's episode, we speak with Ria who underwent a single mastectomy direct to implant. What she wasn't expecting was the infection that occurred after her surgery. Because of the infection, the implanted needed to be removed. Then COVID-19 hit. This enabled Ria additional time to reflect on her experience with breast cancer, grieve the loss of a breast, and ultimately decide whether or not reconstruction was right for her.
