An article in my local newspaper makes me wake up and take notice of a real problem for women who, after breast cancer surgeries, wish to have their breast(s) reconstructed.
Mind you — we aren’t talking about breast enhancement surgery. No discussion of “boob jobs” here.

Greetings readers — and thanks for stopping by.
Being a part of Hart’s Battling for Health Series is an exciting opportunity for me to HELP and LEARN from all of you.
By way of introduction — I call myself Every Patient’s Advocate. I’ve been battling the system for my own care, and advising others how to navigate it themselves, for more than three years, ever since suffering a heinous misdiagnosis myself.
I’ll be bringing you commentary on health-related news across North America, tips and advice on navigating healthcare, and for those who are state-side, some consumerism and thoughts about the upcoming presidential elections as they relate to how we access, and pay for, care.
Please feel free to shoot me an email (http://advocate.battlingforhealth.com/contact/ ) at any time — I’m here to help! I look forward to getting to know some of you through comments and questions over time.
Thanks for stopping by.
