Checking out the interview on 60 Minutes ... did anyone watch it? I will watch it again, as I recorded it.
Mmmm, it actually sounded like her 'first lumpectomy' was most likely the Biopsy .... as she said it was to find out what type of cancer/tumour she had.
She said she'd lost almost half a breast in flesh ... I wonder if she had reconstruction surgery - as that hasn't been mentioned ...
A Sydney Morning Herald article (on Sat) is quite scathing ... with UK Breast Surgeon (who's had 2 recurrences herself) Liz O'Riodan also coming out (in the article) saying those who choose not to have mainstream treatment are up to 6 times more likely to succumb to the cancer.
This is Liz's comment on FB ....
