Leslie Moutonโs diary entries from her fight with breast cancer
That means 40 years for the breast cancer that ravaged my healthy tissue once do the same thing again. Because it is relatively new, only a few doctors in the country specialize in the DIEP breast reconstruction procedure. Please keep me close in your prayers as I embark on another chapter of my battle - this time to prevent breast cancer!!!

I trust you, if it doesn't look right don't do it, and you can make me a new one later".
