"We would like to thank Enaltus, makers of bioCorneum, for their support of BRA Day USA," said Charles Verheyden, MD, PhD, president of The PSF. "Breast reconstruction can often accelerate the recovery from breast cancer, both physically and emotionally. Through their contribution to the BRA Fund, more women will be made aware of their reconstructive options, research will be furthered and more women will have access to breast reconstruction surgery."
Scar management is an important part of the healing process that must be discussed. Thanks to Angelina Jolie's brave, very personal New York Times Op Ed piece; conversations about options for Breast Cancer treatment and women's health have been pushed to the forefront of the media. Conversations have sparked emphasizing the importance of a successful step -by -step scar management plan. With these doors open and events like BRA Day women are able to expand important conversations about all stages of dealing with Breast Cancer. We encourage women to keep the conversation going by sharing their stories and asking questions by posting on our facebook https://www.facebook.com/biocorneum and/or twitter @BioCorneum.
