⚠️ Viewer discretion: I’m sharing a real post-surgery image of my removed implant capsule.

Dear Dr. Shafer,

Thank you for being there for me during one of the scariest times of my life. When I found out I had severe capsular contracture that was making my breast cancer testing difficult, I was terrified. I had to have my implants removed right away, and then wait 12 long days to find out whether I had cancer. Having you by my side through it all meant more than you know.

As a mother of two beautiful, educated daughters, I was filled with fear, and so many thoughts ran through my head. Your care and support carried me through that time.

I’m so happy to say I’m healthy and well today. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 💕

With gratitude,
Kelly

Speaking of breasts, still waiting on hearing where the donations and how much you are donating on your “breast cancer awareness” pajama line?
