"You need a mastectomy" what a shock it is to hear those words but what a positive journey it was. Dr Hayes is incredible at what he does and I am so thankful he was my surgeon! The results are beyond any I could have wished for.
I wanted to thank all of you, for your kindness and compassion during my reconstruction process. I was terrified to begin with, and now that I am finished I am simply delighted … what a wonderful job Dr Hayes! My husband and I are thrilled with the result. More importantly my confidence has been restored after Breast Cancer treatment, which was so traumatic…
We can’t believe we have been in NZ for almost a year! I had some appointments with the GP and after hearing about my history they referred me to an oncologist. Both the GP (Who is a British lady) and the oncologist along with his 2 nurses, all said they have never seen such a great reconstruction, or LAT Flap!!!!!!! So once again, thank YOU!
