Guidance for tough choices

Most women with breast cancer today can get by without having a breast removed. Those who must undergo mastectomy also face numerous choices about possible breast reconstruction.

Spokane cancer surgeon Dr. Stephanie Moline helps her patients with those decisions by providing information based on research. She did her fellowship at the University of Michigan where she participated in the Michigan Breast Reconstruction Outcome Study.

Moline will present a free lecture on breast reconstruction for cancer patients on May 29 at 6 p.m. The event will be at Cancer Care Northwest, 601 S. Sherman, in Spokane. Light refreshments will be served. To reserve a seat, call (509) 747-4316 by May 27.
