Tiffany: Pausing for a Second Opinion After Complications

After a severe surgical infection and devastating complications, Tiffany’s breast cancer advanced to Stage IIIB. A labor and delivery nurse, she was terrified and rushed into another procedure just to get the cancer out.

Then a colleague urged her to pause and get a second opinion. That decision changed everything. Tiffany switched care teams, found a reconstructive surgeon she trusted, and moved forward with a successful DIEP flap reconstruction.

Her advice: Don’t let fear rush you into the first option. Ask questions, get another opinion, and find a surgeon you trust.
