Today Show War on Cancer Series: Breast in a Day
This morning on the Today Show, I covered an incredible new surgical procedure, Breast in a Day. I interviewed NYU Langone Medical Center patient, Courtney Curtin about four weeks after she had this radical new surgery. Courtney's mother passed away due to breast cancer and she tested BRCA positive, so she opted to have this preventative procedure, involving a mastectomy and breast reconstruction during the same operation.
