In this episode of The Other C Word, I sit down with Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa, a renowned breast reconstruction plastic surgeon, to talk about all things breast cancer reconstruction. From understanding the options available to patients after a breast cancer diagnosis to the physical and emotional aspects of reconstructive surgery, we cover it all. We also dive into a mock consultation where Dr. Srinivasa shares how she approaches patient care with compassion and expertise. Whether you're navigating your own cancer journey, supporting someone you love, or just curious about the process, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
