\"Sab\u00eda que se me ven\u00eda encima\", dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sus dos hermanas hab\u00edan sido diagnosticadas poco antes que ella, y las tres mujeres se sometieron a quimioterapia al mismo tiempo. Pero despu\u00e9s de someterse tambi\u00e9n a una tumorectom\u00eda y a radioterapia, Lori estaba \"enfadada\" con sus pechos cuando en 2007 apareci\u00f3 una forma diferente de c\u00e1ncer de mama. No dud\u00f3 en someterse a una doble mastectom\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mi onc\u00f3logo me dijo: 'Lori, son tus pechos o tu vida'\", recuerda Lori. \"\u00bfEstos pechos nos definen como mujeres? No. Y hacen un trabajo maravilloso con la reconstrucci\u00f3n. Cada a\u00f1o es mejor\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dra. Maureen Chung<\/a>, ahora Director M\u00e9dico de Programa de atenci\u00f3n mamaria de Southcoast Health<\/a>...extirp\u00f3 los senos de Lori. En la misma sesi\u00f3n quir\u00fargica, Dra. Caroline Plamondon<\/a> coloc\u00f3 expansores tisulares para hacer sitio a los implantes mamarios. Tres meses despu\u00e9s, el Dr. Plamondon realiz\u00f3 una segunda intervenci\u00f3n para sustituir los expansores por implantes de silicona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Para m\u00ed es importante sentirme bien con mi ropa\", dice Lori. \"Y yo me siento muy bien. Me veo bien en ba\u00f1ador\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lori, residente en Cumberland, RI, acudi\u00f3 al Dr. Plamondon para someterse a una intervenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica que corrigiera los problemas causados por la radiaci\u00f3n en su mama derecha, que requiri\u00f3 un total de tres intervenciones quir\u00fargicas de seguimiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"La Dra. Plamondon es como mi mejor amiga\", dice. \"La seguir\u00eda a California. Simplemente conf\u00edo en ella\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Dr. Plamondon, que ejerce en Cirug\u00eda pl\u00e1stica de Southcoast Health<\/a> de Dartmouth, tambi\u00e9n realiz\u00f3 la reconstrucci\u00f3n mamaria de la hija de Lori, que se someti\u00f3 a una doble mastectom\u00eda tras serle diagnosticado un c\u00e1ncer de mama hace seis a\u00f1os, a la edad de 35 a\u00f1os. Se gana la confianza de sus pacientes hablando con ellas para conocer sus objetivos y preocupaciones, y siendo sincera sobre lo que la cirug\u00eda puede conseguir, dice Lori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sus 64 a\u00f1os, Lori vive seg\u00fan las lecciones que dice que le han ense\u00f1ado sus experiencias: amar mucho, mantener la paz, perdonar y librar tu vida de la negatividad. Va al gimnasio todas las ma\u00f1anas a las 5.30 antes de ir a su trabajo en una cl\u00ednica dental de Cumberland, donde se form\u00f3 como auxiliar de ortodoncia y ahora trabaja en gesti\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La madre de tres hijos dice que la mastectom\u00eda le da tranquilidad y la reconstrucci\u00f3n mamaria le da confianza. Al principio tem\u00eda que su marido, Tom, no apoyara sus decisiones, pero ha sido su defensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Dr. Plamondon a veces pide a Lori que hable con mujeres que se enfrentan al mismo diagn\u00f3stico y les dice que no tengan miedo. Sabe que, con sus antecedentes familiares, el c\u00e1ncer podr\u00eda aparecer alg\u00fan d\u00eda en otra parte de su cuerpo. Su hermana mayor falleci\u00f3 de c\u00e1ncer de mama en 2006. Pero Lori se niega a preocuparse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Creo que soy muy joven de coraz\u00f3n\", dice. \"Quiero sentirme as\u00ed y lo hago. Cada d\u00eda es un regalo\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
